This module will allow you

to take your React skills to the next level,

and build large scale production

Ready React applications with ease.

In this module, we're going to explore NextJS,

a framework for React.

So a Framework building up on React.

And if that sounds strange, no worries

I'll explain in depth what NextJS is

and why we might wanna consider using it

in conjunction with React over the next lectures.

Now, in this module, I will explain in depth

what NextJS is and why you might wanna consider using it.

Why just React JS might not be enough,

or might not give you everything you want.

We're going to explore some of NextJS key features,

file-based routing and page pre-rendering,

and I'll explain what that is.

And we're also going to learn how we can build

full stack applications with NextJS

by adding an API to our project, and by adding data fetching

to pre-render pages with data.

We're going to learn all about that in depth in this module.

We're going to see many small examples

and an example project, a meetups project

which we're going to build,

where we render a list of meetups and can add meetups

and then display individual meetup data,

and where that data will be stored in an actual database.

And we will write the code for communicating

with that database,

and we're going to build all of that with React,

but specifically then also with NextJS.

By using the powerful features NextJS offers us

on top of React as we know it.

And therefore let's dive in

and let's explore the most important question first.

What exactly is NextJS and why would we use it?
