A way a lot of people deal with this is to have a compulsory email box but do very minimal validation. For beginner focused content, people who know they can put a fake email and don't want to be on your mailing list are not much of a loss. And if the content is good, they might still recommend to others who will join the mailing list.

It's not good for deliverability to send emails to fake accounts. I wouldn't want fake email accounts in any list I was creating.

Most software I've used has easy ways to remove failed addresses. The issue is people using "fake" addresses that belong to someone else. Must be a nightmare to use johntest@gmail.com or similar.

What "software" are you talking about?

I gave a quick glance through this and it seems pretty good especially for beginners. I noticed at the beginning it goes straight into installing the vue cli with yarn or npm. Might be helpful for beginners to know what npm/yarn (and for that matter node) is and at the very least how to install it. I understand that this is supposed to go with a complimentary course which might explain these things, but might be good…

Why is npm required?

The first part of book is like setup and tools. The first example hello world doesn’t use npm at all. Just a HTML file.

There's beginners and there's beginners though. Why not include a CLI basics tutorial too? An addendum covering just what the CLI is composing for you so you know how to use separate components would be a better use of time.

If you use some of the simple scaffolds it's fair obvious but the default and complex ones you're at the mersey of their github README, which as a newbie can be very thick.

Tutorials should set you up to get the most done in the least amount of effort with the fewest tripwires setup.

While I appreciate your attempt to provide a community service, to be fair to the author, he is giving away intellectual property in order to gain an audience for his future course. Surely giving out an email is a small price to pay for the exchange if you are genuinely interested in Vue.js? EDIT: I see the author himself chimed in on this thread with a direct download link. Kudos to him/her for doing so.

Thank you for jumping in. I was thinking about how to "react" to this :) HN is probably not the target audience for my email list, which is more beginner-oriented, and a low percentage of HN users will leave their email there. It's best to make the material available free of any kind of wall and let people jump in the mailing list if they enjoy it and want more. EDIT: here's the ebook link https://www.dropbox.com/s/a…
