Next.js is a production-ready React framework for building fast, scalable web applications with built-in routing, rendering, and data fetching. It is widely used for modern full stack applications where performance, developer experience, and maintainability matter. In this course, you will learn what makes Next.js v16 different and why the App Router is the default for new projects. You will explore application structure, flexible routing, layouts, parallel and intercepted routes, React Server Components, and streaming with Suspense. The course also covers rendering strategies (SSG, SSR, ISR), styling, image optimization, server actions, route handlers, middleware (proxy), and authentication. By the end, you will be able to build full stack Next.js applications using modern React features and complete a Capstone project that brings everything together.
