Next.js Crash Course: Full-Stack React Framework

Next.js is a React framework that makes building fast, SEO-friendly, and scalable applications easy. It’s used by top companies like Netflix, TikTok, and GitHub.

In this course, you’ll explore file-based routing, server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), API routes, authentication, and database integration. You’ll also optimize performance with image handling, caching, and lazy loading.

With a mix of live mentor-led classes and pre-recorded tutorials, you’ll build real-world projects such as blogs, dashboards, and e-commerce apps. By the end, you’ll deploy your apps confidently on Vercel.
