Teaching Next.js 15 ⚑️

The Modern Full Stack Next.js Course

A comprehensive course on building and deploying Production-ready apps with modern best practices that are real-world and in-depth with Zero fluff.

Hi, I'm Ankita πŸ‘‹πŸ½

I'll be your instructor for this course and here is a little bit about me.

Ankita Kulkarni

So React got really confusing.

And the Ecosystem of Next.js is quite daunting. You need to know what to learn, where to focus and what the best practices are.

The React team has suggested to use a framework to learn React. And Next.js has been the recommended framework by the React docs for the longest time.

And you tried learning Next.js on your own through Youtube and other tutorials but yet, you don't know what it takes to build production-ready apps.

And let me tell you, it is not your fault πŸ’›. It is quite hard to know what to learn and where to focus on top of your day-to-day work.

This is where the Modern Full Stack Next.js course comes in...

The Modern Full Stack Next.js Course is a hands-on interactive course that teaches you how to build production-ready apps with Next.js. You won't just simply watch me code but you will learn by doing.

The course is filled with a lot of exercises, interactive demos and real-world projects to help you truly build a strong intuition for Next.js. All of this leading to building a couple of big apps.

The course will cut through the noise and help you learn where to focus on no matter what your level is. Truly, this course is the Ultimate Course you need to master Next.js.

I've created this course to teach you what I've learned architecting and building apps with Next.js.

It will push you to think how Senior Engineers build and architect apps.

This course covers **everything** from the basics of Next.js like what is Next.js, where to use it all the way to Advanced topics like Server components and Client components Patterns, Architecture Best Practices, API Routes and how they are different from Middleware and more.

Next.js is built on top of React so I've included a Bonus module on "Introduction to React" to help you understand the fundamentals of React.

The content isn't surface level fluff. It is full of in-depth content with real-world examples.

Which is why this course focuses on building more real-world production-ready apps. And not just one big app that you work on but several projects and interactive exercises to help things click for you.

If I teach you a lesson, we not only learn "the what" but also why we are using it and when to use that concept. And that is how you'll start **building a intuition** as you go through the course on Next.js.

If you don't know me already, I'd suggest checking out my YouTube channel to get a sense of my teaching style, πŸŽ₯ check out this playlist ↗️. on my Youtube Channel

Curriculum

The curriculum is quite comprehensive and consists of 9 modules so far along with a bonus module on "Introduction to React" and few exclusive bonuses.

Please note, this curriculum may change after the release of the full course*.

MODULE 01

πŸš€ The Next.js Essentials

Let me introduce you to what makes Next.js truly special. I remember when I first started with Next.js - it completely changed how I build web apps. In this module, I'll show you why should you pick Next.js, where to use it and why it's become my go-to framework and how its built-in optimizations make it different from regular React apps.

This module will lay a solid foundation for the rest of the course. I can't believe how in-depth and comprehensive this module has become.

Together, we'll build a PokΓ©dex app twice - once in vanilla React and once in Next.js. Trust me, once you see the difference in performance and developer experience, you'll understand why Next.js is so powerful.

Ready to test your skills? You'll tackle the "Detect Next.js Components" challenge. Don't worry if it sounds daunting - I'll guide you through it, and by the end, you'll be spotting Next.js patterns like a pro.

MODULE 02

πŸ—ΊοΈ Routing in Next.js

This is where things get exciting! Routing in Next.js is a game-changer, but I know it can be confusing at first. I'll break down both the App Router and Pages Router but I'd still recommend you to start with App Router.

We'll build "Authy" together - a real authentication system that'll teach you routing patterns you'll use in every project. You'll learn middleware, route protection, and my favorite tricks for handling errors elegantly.

By the end, we'll build a Course platform layout from scratch. I'll show you how to handle nested routes, loading states, and create error pages that users will actually enjoy seeing (yes, that's possible!).

MODULE 03

⚑ Master Server & Client Components

In this module, we dive deep into one of Next.js's most revolutionary features - React Server Components but also, the most difficult to grasp. You'll learn how they fundamentally change the way we think about component architecture , and why they're crucial for building modern web applications.

Through a series of hands-on exercises, you'll convert existing client components to server components, implement security best practices, and learn the subtle art of choosing between server and client rendering. You'll understand the performance implications of each choice. And learn how to architect your apps for optimal performance and things to avoid.

I want you to build a mental model for how to structure and build components and how you may have to rethink how you have been doing things.

Here's a fun project: We'll be building animated interfaces using Framer Motion, where you'll learn advanced patterns for combining Server and Client components. You'll master Suspense for better loading states and discover how to architect your components for optimal performance.

MODULE 04

πŸ”„ Master Data Fetching Strategies

Data fetching in Next.js offers powerful capabilities that go far beyond traditional React applications. In this module, you'll master these capabilities by building an AI-powered application that showcases various data fetching patterns and caching strategies.

You'll learn how to implement static generation, server-side rendering, and incremental static regeneration. Through practical examples, you'll understand when to use each approach and how they affect your application's performance and user experience.

By creating a visual guide to Next.js caching, you'll gain a deep understanding of how caching works at different levels. You'll implement partial pre-rendering and learn to optimize data fetching patterns for real-world scenarios that require both speed and freshness.

MODULE 05

🎯 Caching Deep Dive

Believe it or not, we need to change the way we build modern Next.js apps. The old container to child pattern is back and for a good reason. You'll finally understand when to use different caching mechanisms. You'll learn about page-level vs function-level caching, and how to handle real-time data updates.

Complete hands-on exercises in the caching playground, implement different caching strategies, and master the art of performance optimization through practical examples.

You'll love my "Visual Guide to Caching" demo where you can see data flow through your app in real-time. This is a Aha moment time and I want you to have it. Plus, you'll use the "Cache Playground" to experiment with different caching strategies and watch how they affect both performance and data freshness.

MODULE 06

πŸ› οΈ Backend Integration with Server Actions

Server Actions are Next.js's newest Superpower But just like every superpower, they can be dangerous if you don't know how to use them. There are too many gotchas and pitfalls. I'll show you how to avoid them. We'll start with a simple example, then build up to something really cool.

Main Project: Together we'll build a complete AI application that handles form submissions, data mutations, and error scenarios. You'll learn my favorite patterns for cookie management and form handling - things I use in production every day.

You'll experiment with a cool "Magic Cart" demo to see instant server mutations without page refreshes. Plus, you'll use the "Reviews Playground" to understand how Server Actions handle real-time updates and optimistic UI patterns.

MODULE 07

πŸ” Effective SEO Optimizations

SEO is a crucial part of any web app, and Next.js makes it easier than ever. In this module, you'll learn how to optimize your Next.js app for search engines, including how to handle dynamic routes and server-side rendering.

Next.js has a powerful Metadata API that allows you to control the content of your pages for SEO. You'll learn how to use it to your advantage and build SEO-friendly apps and rank higher in search results.

But, there's more to SEO than just metadata. You'll learn about structured data, how to implement it in your app, and how to test it for accuracy.

MODULE 08

πŸš€ The Secret Sauce of Deploying Production-Ready Next.js Apps

This is where we make your Next.js apps bulletproof for production. I'll share my deployment checklist that I've refined over years of shipping Next.js apps. We'll use the "Production Pulse" demo to monitor your app's vital signs and catch issues before your users do.

Main Project: Together, we'll set up a complete CI/CD pipeline for your Next.js app. You'll learn how to automate deployments, handle environment variables safely, and implement proper error monitoring - all the stuff I wish I'd known when I first started deploying apps.

You'll play with our "Performance Profiler" demo to spot and fix common production issues. We'll simulate real-world scenarios like memory leaks and slow database queries, then I'll show you exactly how to fix them. It's like having a production environment you can safely break!

MODULE 09

Upgrading your apps the right way

This is a special module that I'm adding to the course. It's not required, but it's a great way to learn how to upgrade your apps the right way.

Every version of Next.js comes with new features and improvements. However, upgrading can be a daunting task, especially if you're not sure what's new and how to implement it in your app.

In this module, you'll learn how to upgrade your apps the right way, with minimal disruption and maximum benefit. And especially when you already have a app in production, how do you make sure that your users don't experience any downtime or issuesand whether it is the right time to upgrade.

β€œTime is a valuable thing. Because of that, I loved how Ankita delivers content that is straight to the point, immediately applicable, and without fluff. Every lesson is its own piece of practical knowledge that aims to solve one issue or help grow the learner's needed mental models. The short content format mixed with practical lessons really gives something we can check and apply immediately at work or whenever we run into that issue, loved the course!”

It's really hard to expect anything less than excellence in her course. The workshop was really good, and I thought I wouldn't be able to catch up, but it turned out the other way around. A great course is always Ankita's output, and the complexity of the topics turns out to be easily understood whenever she explains it. I've seen plenty of other courses, but she always explains it better and gets it stuck into my understanding. There's no need to think twice if you're a beginner and getting her course; it's definitely fit for everyone.
