Learn Next JS from industry experts using modern best practices. The only Next JS tutorial + projects course you need to learn Next JS, build enterprise-level React applications from scratch & get hired as a Next.js Developer in 2022.

Course Details

Just released with all the latest Next.js features for 2022! We guarantee you this is the most comprehensive online course on Next.js and React. You will learn Next.js by building real-world projects (including a massive Netflix clone application) step-by-step alongside senior industry professionals.

Using the latest version of Next.js, this course is focused on efficiency. You never have to spend time on confusing, out-of-date, incomplete tutorials anymore. We also push you beyond the basics so that you can build modern, enterprise-level apps.

This project-based course will introduce you to the modern toolchain of a Next.js developer in 2022. Along the way, you will build a massive Netflix Clone application using React Hooks, Hasura (GraphQL), Context API, Airtable, Serverless Functions, Framer Motion, Vercel + more. This is a full-stack app unlike what you will find in most Next.js tutorials online!

By enrolling today, you’ll also get to join our exclusive live online community classroom so that you'll be learning and designing alongside thousands of students, alumni, mentors, TAs, and Instructors.

Most importantly, you will be learning from industry professionals (Ankita and Andrei) that have actual real-world experience using Next.js as Senior Engineers working for top companies in both Silicon Valley and Toronto. Ankita is also a regular speaker and lecturer at major Next.js and React conferences.

The curriculum is very hands-on as we walk you from start to finish of releasing a professional Next.js project all the way into production.

We start from the very beginning by teaching you Next.js fundamentals. But we don't stop there, we'll then dive into advanced topics so that you can make good decisions on architecture and tools for any of your future NextJS projects.

All code is provided step-by-step so even if you don’t like to code along, you will get access to the full master project code (reminder... building Netflix!) to add to your portfolio.

Here's what this Next.js course covers:

1. Next.js Fundamentals
Comparing Next.js with React, and learning about the benefits that Next.js offers. You will understand why Next.js has gained so much popularity and what JAM Stack is all about. This section will build the foundation you need for the rest of the course.

2. Build your first Next.js app | Coffee Connoisseur Project
You will be building your first project right away. The goal of this project is to teach you the fundamentals of Next.js. This section focuses on setting up the project, teaching fundamentals such as CSS modules, fast refresh, how the project is set up, etc.

5. Hydration, SEO and Different Rendering Techniques in Next.js
One of the most important sections of the course.

12. Project Setup | Building Netflix with Next.js Project
This is a big one! You will start to set up for the major project. This section is about setting up our Netflix project.

13. Netflix Home Page and Video | Building Netflix with Next.js
You will build the homepage and use server-side rendering. You will learn how to server render content and how to invoke the YouTube API to get a list of videos and display them on the homepage. The card component is complex in Netflix so you will also learn some framer motion to build the card component.

14. Authentication with Magic | Building Netflix with Next.js
How does Auth work in Next.js? We will be using passwordless login in Next and building the login page with proper authentication and validation.

15. Incremental Static Regeneration | Building Netflix with Next.js

19. Deploying to Production | Netflix with Next.js
Create the final GitHub repo, set-up the repo, and finally deploy to Vercel!

20. Appendix: Introduction to React
An optional section for those that need a primer on React.js and React Hooks to get you ready to get the most out of this course.
