If you are a beginner developer or a seasoned one, it doesn't matter. I have designed this course to cater to both the beginner and the seasoned developers. This course is designed to get you start building full stack web apps really fast and do it right and safe way. What do Imean? We will use TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript to make sure that the code we write is type-safe and we get early warnings for errors that would otherwise be hard to predict until they actually occurred in production. TypeScript provides features like static typing, enhanced IDE support, strict null checks (null errors have historically been most notorious), etc. And don't worry! TypeScript if largely interoperable with JavaScript, though it might require some hacks at times when using js libs with Typescript.

Yes, so the course if targeting a larger audience and thus feel free to skip certain sections as per your needs. If you are a beginner developer, or new to web development some advanced concepts might not be very relevant to you immediately. Or if you are already familiar with modern JS and react JS, you might want to skip those sections. However, Ihave tried to make this course comprehensive as well as concise. Ihave tried to include as much depth and breadth of the concepts in an easy to understand yet concise fashion as possible. So, I recommend you to at least skim through the entire course with 2x speed if you like.

Next.js is a production-ready, full-stack-capable framework for React JS - one of the most popular JavaScript UI library you can learn these days!

Indeed, Next JS is a great choice for growing as a React developer and for taking your React apps to the next level!

Because Next JS is growing fast and therefore in high demand. And there are good reasons for that: Next JS allows you to build React apps with built-in server-side rendering, static rendering, page pre-rendering and automatic prefetching pages related to the current page. Building great user experiences and search engine friendly (SEO!) React apps has never been easier!

In addition, Next JS makes building full-stack React apps (frontend + backend code combined in one project) extremely easy as well! Blend client-side and server-side code and build a Node JS-based API side-by-side with your frontend React apps. It's a breeze with Next JS!

This course contains a few explanatory lessons, a few challenges, quizzes and assignments and a lot of hands on coding and screencasts. First we introduce you to next js, give a brief introduction to get you motivated about what you are going to accomplish after completing this course. Then we jump into learning/refreshing modern JS practices that are most commonly used in React community. We will do all these right in our Next.JS app setup! So, you will already start building the complete websites with Next.js even before we start digging into the Next.js concepts. Thirdly, we will cover React JS concepts with fair enough depth. We will stick just to React and will not cover things like React Router, Redux, the commonly used webpack configurations etc., which should be a part of a complete React course. However, when using Next JS, you really don't need any of these for most cases. Or you need to use Redux or manipulate webpack configs directly only in rare cases. Finally, we will dig into the Next JS features and master them while creating multiple projects.

This course will take you from a mere acquaintance to React and Next JS to advanced Next JS full stack developer in no time!

We'll start at the very basics, no Next JS, react or modern JS knowledge is required at all. Though you should be familiar with the basic programing concepts and JavaScript. We will learn both in theory as well as with multiple real projects where all concepts will be applied step-by-step.

After finishing this course, you'll be well prepared to build your own Next JS projects from the ground up and apply for Next JS positions!

In detail, this course will cover:

• What is NextJS? And why would you use it?

• Why is just React (in many cases) not enough?

• Creating NextJS projects from the ground up & understanding these projects

• Working with file-based routing

• Adding dynamic routes and catch-all routes

• Implementing different forms of page static-rendering and server-side rendering

• Working with data and adding data fetching + pre-fetching to your apps

• Pre-generating dynamic and static pages

• Adding optimizations like metadata to pages

• Optimizing images with the NextJS Image component

• Building fullstack apps with API routes

• Managing app-wide state with React context (in Next JS apps)

• Multiple complete apps where we'll apply all these core concepts!

• A complete React.js crash course/refresher module

• And much more!

I can't wait to start this journey together with you! :)
