Description
Welcome to Hands-On Introduction to Web Development with Next.js — a practical and beginner-friendly course designed to get you building modern web applications from scratch using the latest features of Next.js and React.
I’m Lucas, a tech lead working in an international team. If you’ve taken any of my other hands-on courses — like React, NestJS, MongoDB, or Docker — you already know the drill: no slides, no fluff, just clean, structured, real-world coding.
In this course, you’ll start by learning the React fundamentals like JSX, props, useState, and useEffect, and then move on to building with the Next.js App Router — learning how routing, layouts, metadata, server vs client components, and data fetching work together in a modern React framework.
Along the way, you’ll also learn how to:
Handle loading and error states with built-in file-based conventions
Create your own simple API routes
Understand what npm run build really does behind the scenes
We’re using Material UI instead of Tailwind, and keeping the focus on building simple UI and clean structure — with no database or deployment required.
By the end, you’ll have a clear picture of how to structure fullstack-ready apps with Next.js, and what steps to take next.
Let’s get coding!
Who this course is for:
- Beginners who want to learn Next.js and React
- Frontend developers looking to transition into fullstack development
- Anyone curious about how modern React frameworks really work
