Learn Next.js For Free with These Resources

Hello friends, yesterday I have shared React resources and I think after learning React, Next.js may be the next step.

So, if you are not familiar with Next.js, I will start with:

• what Next.js is
• its advantages
• where you can learn more about Next.js

What is Next.js?

Next.js is a full-stack framework for modern apps created by Vercel (formerly Zeit) that enables functionality such as server-side rendering(SSR) and static site generation(SSG).

Unlike a traditional React app where the entire application is loaded and rendered on the client, Next.js allows the first-page load to be rendered by the server, which is great for SEO & performance.

Its benefits

• easy page routing
• out-of-the-box Typescript
• easy deployment
• relatively easy to learn after learning React.js
• built-in CSS support
• multiple data fetching
• file system routing
• code splitting and bundling
