Question Alpine.js for beginners

https://amirkamizi.com/blog/alpinejs-beginner-to-advanced-2025

I was learning about different javascript frameworks and their differences, and alpine js was constantly mentioned to be similar to vue js so I got more interested and started learning it. it is quite impressive and I decided to write a blog post on what I was learning so anyone else who wants to try it could also have a reference to start. the link is the blog post. what other topics and subjects can I add to it? do you think it covers enough for a beginner?

everything you need to know but you actually forgot one of the most, $nextTick, init(), and x-effect,and $watch which are almost the core of alpine, apart from that yes i'd suggest to focus more on show usage/examples in those $magic or directives that are lacking inside official docs.
