Course Description
This course will teach you how to build a modern Next.js app using the latest App directory approach. We will build a shopping app and learn all the core fundamentals of building a modern Next.js app. We will also connect the app to a NestJS backend and store data using Prisma ORM.
This architecture allows us to take advantage of the amazing performance & security features of Next.js with server-side rendering while still maintaining a clean scaleable backend using NestJS. By building a real working shopping app integrated with Stripe to accept payments we will go beyond the documentation & learn what it takes to build and deploy a full-stack web application to production.
Additionally, we will cover production deployment using AWS & Vercel to implement a continuous delivery pipeline and expose our application to the internet on a real working domain. This will ensure the app is automatically built & deployed with every commit without us having to do a thing.
The entire project will be protected with industry-standard JWT authentication so only authenticated users can access our application. We will utilize WebSockets to receive real-time updates from our backend whenever a new product is added or purchased. This will be facilitated with the usage of Stripe webhooks.
By the end of the course, we’ll have gone through the bulk of the Next.js documentation by building a real working app. You’ll be able to apply what you’ve learned to build your own modern full-stack app.

Great tech stack demo from empty source control to production. The updates lectures are a bug in my opinion. The original lectures should have just been overwritten with the updates in dependencies.

I appreciate the effort put into this, and I think more explanation should be provided, also I had to change some things almost in every step or video probably because of the updates in nest and next

Good solid course! A little bit out of date with the upgrades in NextJS and some of the dependencies but still a great reference for the fundamentals

Many courses do not provide information about deployment processes, but I think these are the most important parts. Thanks to this course, I believe that as a PHP developer, I can also make applications with NestJS.
By Arie Verburgh on 9/20/2024
Excellent course. This was my first introduction to NestJS and I was able to easily follow along and learn about the benefits of using NestJS as a backend for my Next.js apps.
