Next.js: Build Dynamic, Fast & Scalable Web Applications

Explore file system routing and dynamic routes in Next.js by building routes from the pages directory, including a dynamic post page with an id parameter and server-side props.

Learn how getServerSideProps enables server-side data fetching before rendering, passing data as props to the page component. Fetch posts from an API to demonstrate dynamic Next.js data.

Explore how getStaticProps fetches data at build time to generate static html optimized for performance. See examples fetching posts from an api or local files and passing data as props.

Explore client-side data fetching in Next.js with useSWR, leveraging caching, validation, and error handling for up-to-date UI. See examples of API calls, loading states, and authenticated data access using tokens.

Explore building dynamic pages and layouts in Next.js. Create dynamic routes for posts with id and implement a shared layout for admin and public views.

Explore how to create serverless API routes inside a Next.js app, handling posts, queries, and JSON responses with sample data, status codes, and simple back-end testing.

Learn how to optimize images with the Next.js image component to boost site speed, including using local and remote images, setting height and width, and whitelisting domains.

Explore internationalization and localization in next.js, building a multi-language site with locale based routing, language switching, and translations of dynamic content.

Explore building a custom server with Next.js to gain full control over routing and request handling, using express and a node environment to add custom routes beyond next.js api.

Explore project planning and design in Next.js, map out a scalable folder structure, build a responsive layout with navigation and footer components, and optimize performance.

Create a blog post page in Next.js, utilize static site generation and server-side rendering, and implement an api route via a serverless function.

Learn to build dynamic Next.js apps by integrating external APIs with client-side data fetch using useEffect, display posts with titles and bodies, and use serverless API routes to manage data.

Explore testing and debugging Next.js apps with unit, integration, and API route tests. Learn to set up test files, render components with react testing library, and verify text output.

Explore how Next.js splits code and lazily loads components to improve performance, including dynamic imports, loading states, and handling heavy components.

Learn how to optimize images in Next.js using the image component, enabling automatic formats, lazy loading, and responsive layouts with remote domains configured.

This lecture introduces performance monitoring and analysis in Next.js, covering web vitals reporting, profiling components with React profiler, and tracking API performance and real-time logs for analytics.

Learn to secure a Next.js app by preventing raw HTML injection, implementing token-based authorization, protecting private routes, and handling authorized and unauthorized responses with clear messages.

Build a fast, secure Next.js development environment by configuring environment variables, secret management, Husky hooks, and production port settings with NEXT_PUBLIC variables for client exposure.

Learn how to scale Next.js applications from development to production by applying dynamic imports, reducing initial bundle size, and modular design to improve performance, reliability, and API efficiency.
