Next.js with TypeScript & AI – Full Stack Web Development
This MOOC provides a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to Next.js full-stack web development, taking learners from the fundamentals of the Next.js environment to building production-ready applications with modern frontend and backend technologies.
The course begins with the Next.js development environment, covering project creation, package managers such as npm and pnpm, project architecture, Turbopack, React Compiler, components, props, and event handling. Learners then progress to routing and layouts, including dynamic routes, nested routes, route groups, navigation, and advanced layout patterns.
The course further explores advanced Next.js UI capabilities such as Parallel Routes, Intercepting Routes, error handling, not-found pages, and loading interfaces, followed by modern rendering and data-fetching architecture in Next.js. Learners will understand caching, static and dynamic rendering, the use cache directive, cache life and tags, Partial Prerendering, and streaming UI.
A major part of the MOOC focuses on backend and full-stack development. Learners will build REST APIs using Route Handlers, work with JSON, FormData, query parameters, headers and cookies, and implement route protection using middleware. The course also introduces Server Actions and interactive forms, including useActionState, useOptimistic, useTransition, and Zod-based validation and security.
Through practical projects, learners will develop complete CRUD applications using Next.js with MySQL and MongoDB, first using REST APIs and then using modern Server Actions. This provides practical experience in connecting a Next.js frontend with real database-backed applications.
The final section introduces AI-powered coding assistants for Next.js developers. Learners will explore AI-assisted development in VS Code, compare free and paid coding assistants, configure Continue with a free Gemini API key, and learn about alternatives such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and OpenCode.
