DESCRIPTION
Reading the Next.js docs, simply might not be enough.
If you’re aiming to work in web development, you’ll need Next.js and React on your resume skills. To truly understand how to create a production-level Next.js and React application, you should build one.
In this video, we’re going to rebuild a production-level Next.js and React 18 website. The website is a music artist portfolio. The website features an elegant design, and offers a lot of functionality. You’ll find a preview of the website in the first video of the video (available for preview).
The video is designed to help you achieve 3 main goals:
* Get a thorough understanding of Next.js and React 18.
* Gain the confidence to fully explain advanced React and Next.js topics like client vs. server components, the Next.js architecture, etc.
* Create a production-level Next.js and React 18 project, that can be adapted into a personal portfolio, or product for a client.
Here’s a preview of the video journey:
* Start by learning the most important React and Next.js lesson right away: the difference between client vs. server components.
* Begin the video project, and start exploring the Next.js architecture.
* Learn Tailwind CSS, an advanced CSS styling approach.
* Go more into depth with server and client components.
* Learn Next.js server actions.
* Explore the React 18 useTransition hook.
* Expand upon Next.js fundamentals, and create a shared layout structure.
* Create dynamic segments with Next.js and learn generateStaticParams.
* Explore React Suspense and React lazy.
* Dive deeper into advanced Next.js hooks like useSelectedLayoutSegments, and useSearchParams.
* Explore the React 18 useDeferredValue hook.
* Learn how to deploy a Next.js application.
You may be wondering, why should I learn from you?
I’ve worked in the industry as a software engineer working for over 5 years. So I’ve applied many of the best practices I’ve learned to the video code.
I’ve also created nearly 20 videos, with over 400,000 enrollments. I’ve learned plenty of ways to create better video curriculums, to help you learn more things and learn more efficiently.
***
Here are reviews from other students from my React and JavaScript videos in the past:
“Great video, instructor has a great way to explain things. Loved coding examples… Well worth the time to invest and code through. Kudos to the instructor for style and mastery of technology and presentation!”
“I started with some React concepts in mind and I found this video very useful… Also I am learning practical ways to do things and advance to more complex apps. I like very much the step by step, simple to complex, and practical style to explain concepts. Also, David is very nice and quick to solve any question.”
