Kendo Grid: A Primer For First-Time Users
This is my take on working with Kendo Grid in a Vue 3 project. While I have not explored the grid functionality to the nth degree, these are some things I like about the grid, some difficulties I had implementing it, and some workarounds and quirks I have discovered. Specifically, I will be referring to the Vue implementation of Kendo Grid and the Native Components. This is not to be confused with the Kendo UI for Vue Wrappers.
Kendo Grid is a very robust tool for displaying data in table format. Out-of-the-box features include sorting, filtering, and pagination. Simply defining the column schema with a few config options will have the grid set up quickly. A few features that require more coding and configuration are column collapsing, adding a toolbar, displaying aggregated fields, using custom cell components, implementing column groups, and exporting grid data to a file.

React Hook Form
In this blog, we will explore React Hook Form, an extremely lightweight and effective form building library using React. This open-source, third-party library has no dependencies and can be integrated with most existing forms or libraries. It provides the ability to subscribe to individual components, limiting the frequency of re-renders and making it more efficient.
Below, we will learn some of the basic usages of React Hook Form, some more in-depth features, and then look at an example form integrated with an existing UI library.
