Created by: Maximilian Schwarzmüller

Last updated November 2025

Our take

Based on the ratings of 66,743 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in November 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

Maximilian Schwarzmüller's Vue course runs 31.9 hours across 332 lectures and 29 sections, and about 261,000 students have enrolled. It starts with the basics, builds a Monster Slayer game and a Learning Resources app, then moves on to a long Find a Coach project, with separate sections on routing, Vuex and authentication. The requirements list basic JavaScript, HTML and CSS, so it is aimed at people who already know the web basics.

Reviewers like the teaching most. Lectures are short, explanations are simple, and students talk about gaining confidence without feeling swamped. The complaints are about age. Several reviewers call the material outdated, and one says it is basically a Vue 2 course wrapped as Vue 3. Others point to Options API, Vue CLI, Vetur and Vuex instead of Pinia. The Composition API comes late, and one reviewer found that section dated too. One student wanted more assignments, and another missed unit testing.

The rating is 4.7 from 66,743 reviews, and about 70 percent of them are five stars, so most people leave happy. The last update is listed as November 2025, yet some reviewers still call it outdated. It works well for learning Vue fundamentals and the Options API, or for maintaining an older project. If modern Vue 3 from day one is the goal, pair it with something newer.

Best forDevelopers with basic JavaScript who want short, patient lectures and three build projects, and are fine learning Options API first.
Skip it ifYou want a Vue 3 course built on Composition API, Pinia and current tooling from the first lecture.

Pros

  • Short lectures, often a few minutes each, keep the pace easy to follow
  • Three projects, including a roughly 4-hour Find a Coach main project
  • Reviewers say concepts are explained simply and build on each other
  • Covers Vuex, animations, forms, HTTP requests and deployment in one place

Cons

  • Reviewers call much of it Vue 2 material, using Vue CLI, Vetur and Options API
  • Teaches Vuex for state management, not Pinia, which newer projects use
  • Composition API arrives late, and one reviewer found that section dated
Maximilian's teaching style is simple and easy to understand. Each example and practical demonstration allowed me to quickly grasp every core concept of Vue.
Torson, a student

Listed for all levels, but basic JavaScript, HTML and CSS are assumed, so it suits new Vue learners, not new coders.
