Hey there. I've put together this Next.js 14 course for folks starting from scratch. Whether you're aiming for a job or want to build your own apps, this course has you covered. Don't worry if you're new to JavaScript or React - I'll point you to some good resources to get started.

What We'll Build:

  • A portfolio and blog site

  • A personal finance app

What You'll Learn: We'll cover Next.js, a full-stack React framework. You'll get hands-on with UI design, data management, user authentication, and styling with Tailwind CSS. We'll also deploy our projects on Vercel.

After the Course: You'll have a solid foundation in full-stack development. These are skills that usually take a while to learn, but you'll get a good grasp of how to build and deploy complete web applications.

Course Structure:

  • Learn at your own pace - each section is about 2 hours long

  • Code along with the videos or skip ahead if you're familiar with some parts

  • Beginner-friendly with extra resources for JavaScript, React, and SQL basics

  • I'll explain the 'why' behind what we're doing and link to relevant docs

What Makes This Course Different:

  • Up-to-date content using current best practices

  • Step-by-step approach, not just diving in without explanation

  • We'll actually finish and deploy our projects

How It Works:

  • Go at your own speed - 30 minutes a day or longer sessions, whatever works for you

  • Build practical projects you can use and talk about in interviews

  • Source code for each step, detailed videos, and a Discord chat for help when you need it

Syllabus

Getting Started: Begin Here!

Let's begin by seeing what's missing in React. React is a UI library, and it wasn't designed to be a full-stack framework.

Read more

Next.js is a full-stack framework, on the other hand. It's not only about UIs it's about routing, pages, layouts - and more importantly data fetching, caching and data mutations.

Server Actions complete the picture. They let you mutate data easily, and combined with Next.js caching - you can forget about useEffect and libraries like TanStack Query or SWR!
