Next.js Dev to Deployment (Udemy.com)

A very outdated course that takes the triple of the time to finish. Strapi is now in v4 and the deploy of the backend project of dj events in Heroku is not possible anymore unless we pay it (they stop the free version in 2022). Next is now in v13 and the structure of the folders and router is different.

I really enjoyed this course, it has taught me much more about NextJS than I expected. Brad really did a good job with the projects as they touch on a lot of features from NextJS which I really liked, as it has taught me about the things I was hoping to learn about as well as things I did not initially know. However, the strapi content is a bit outdated but I found workarounds in the strapi docs. So overall this was a great course and would recommend to anyone looking to learn Next.

The first project uses Strapi 3, so I would check out his package.json first and install that version so you can follow along smoothly. If not, Strapi is now on version 4 is different. The blog project was cool too. I like that we were exposed to different tech such as Strapi and Tailwind. I feel like I understand Next.js a little better now. Overall, I would say this was a good course.

Excellent course on NextJS. The course is a little dated in terms of some of the libraries but you can post a question and other students have probably already addressed the issue and have a solution. An added bonus of somet extra problem solving. :)

Brad is a great instructor and I enjoy his courses. My only critique would be that when Brad is writing code, VS Code's "tooltip" hint box appears (not his fault) and often covers the section of code that was just written, so I felt like I spent a lot of time pausing the video to rewind and trying to find the exact millisecond where all the code was visible. Of course, I could get the code from the GitHub, but my only suggestion would be that Brad disable these tooltips while recording (I believe this can be done by adding this line to settings.json: "editor.hover.enabled": false). Otherwise, thanks, Brad, for another great course!

Great Course. I got a great overview of next.js and its core concepts. All of them are explained in two projects. You can build on your own solutions from there or use them for further projects. The course is defiantly worth spending your time on and I can highly recommend it.

Amazing content like always. Brad does not go too much in detail which great for practicing (Like a practice project). I combine Brad's courses with some others that are more theoretical, I still love Brad's style, which is why I continue taking his courses.

Summary: very suitable for beginners in Next. Like every Brad Traversy course, the content is taught in a very didactic way. Sometimes the videos go too fast, but nothing gets in the way of the course. I missed a project that uses more robust Next features, such as Router and loaders. It would also be interesting to address caching and fetching with SWR. I also missed a project that was more integrated with React's native functionality, especially more state handling with Context.

This course has a great foundation to understand how to use Next-Js. Please don't take the course if you don't know how to use React or even ES6. Brad does a great job of explaining everything and also how to get the information on your own so you can go and create your own websites and app.

I had an issue with NextJS by not letting me login or register right. I had to copy and paste your package.json into mine to get the process working. I think the first project needs to be updated for future proof. But the second project, from start to finish, was wonderful to work on. So far I would give this course, at most, a 4 out of 5.
