Best series or list of series for Vue & JS

I have been playing around with Splade (which is effectively inertiajs functionality for blade, different from livewire) & I’m finding that as I’m going to need a fair amount of JavaScript eventually for my application anyway, it’s time to bite the bullet & learn JavaScript & Vue in full.

I have basic understanding of how to use page props, v-for, v-if this kind of stuff, but when it comes to the JavaScript that is inside the section of the Vue components, I know effectively noting.

I had a brief look at the learn Vue series that Jeffrey has made & it looks ok, but some of the JavaScript terms were over my head.

My question is, what is the best series or list of series to watch, so that I can learn the JavaScript needed to give me the ability to make an app with all the functionality and more that I could easily with blade & live-wire.

Splade was appealing to me as you can work solely in blade & it then uses renderless Vue components in the background to give SPA functionality, but I think for me, the Splade framework is too young & there is no starter kit like jetstream which is speaking to me with inertia/Vue.

So please help me work out the best path to take to learn what I need to be able to use Vue & JavaScrip, thanks.

@vincent15000 This series while good, doesn't really explain the underlying concepts in Javascript that vue uses. Like in episode 2 Jeffrey discusses this bit of code

    const app = Vue.createApp({
        data() {
            return {
                active: false
            }
        },

        methods: {
            toggle() {
                this.active = !this.active
            }
        }
    })
    app.mount('#app')

I can understand by reading it what it does, logically it makes sense, but he does not teach what this syntax is & how we write this in a way that if I wanted to apply the lesson to my own code on my app, that I would understand it.

I guess this is more what I am asking, do I need to go away and find some series that teaches javascript from scratch? I don't know, what I don't know - this I why I was hoping for some help.

@CamKem This serie on Laracast is very complete, you should really follow this serie entirely, you will learn a lot about VueJS. You cannot understand all only with the first two videos.

But if you don't know JavaScript, you should better follow tutorials on JavaScript before to learn VueJS;

But I perhaps don't have understood what you need.
