Next JS & WordPress: Build rapid NextJS sites with Next & WP (Udemy.com)

Good course! As many other have mentioned; it's very fast paced. You dont really have time to code along or reflect much on what is done if you watch this on 100% speed and don't pause. So I recon the runtime for it will be considerably longer than the 8h that is advertised. Also, this is more a course in how to put it all together meaning that you'll have to be familiar with NextJS and Wordpress to get the most out of it.

The course has been outstanding so far, with clear and easy-to-follow content. I've learned a great deal. If you're looking for a course that will expand your knowledge of working within the WordPress ecosystem, this is the one to choose. One suggestion for future improvements would be to refine the "in-between" video edits that Tom includes for additional clarification. Occasionally, these edits appear unexpectedly, which can be slightly jarring, but they don't detract from the overall quality and depth of the knowledge being shared.

This course is mind blowing, amazing, great experience. I've done quite a few courses recently but this one was really exciting to get through. Tom is pretty fast paced though, which to me enhances the learning experience as makes the course more challenging. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to use Wordpress as a headless cms and dive deeper into React/NextJS.

I'm only halfway through, but it has been very clear and comprehensive so far. I appreciate that the instructor updates the course to keep up with changes in the programming environment, so everything has been working as it should. Through repeating the processes of building pages, blocks, custom fields, etc. I've been learning how to code along, such that I'm now sometimes getting a head start, and correctly anticipating where the instructor will go. That's effective teaching!

The course demonstrates how effectively one can replicate WordPress blocks using the BlockRenderer component in Next.js. I found the course highly beneficial and have already applied it to "reprogram" my own cookbook - www.cook-my-recipe.com . A tip for those reluctant to purchase plugins: I utilized the free version of ACF and, instead of the paid ACF Gutenberg block plugin, opted for the free version of "Lazy Blocks"... it works just the same.

The information in this class is very detailed. I would also like to point out that it updated regularly. I have wanted to work with WordPress as a headless CMS with a NextJS application for quite some time now. Working through this course is really helping me to understand how all of the components can be created in the front end to mirror the Blocks in WordPress. I highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to learn headless WordPress development.

I absolutely loved the course. And I felt challenged at every step and that is the best way to learn. Tom's knowledge of Next and WordPress is vast and I am grateful for all the tips and tricks on Guttenberg Blocks. As a WordPress user the blocks were a mystery to me. :) Thank to the course now I can even start building my own Guttenberg blocks and this is so valuable. So not only I learnt a lot on Next JS I also learnt a lot about Wordpress, PHP, API and so much much more. Ah yes and Tailwind. (I m taking Tom's Tailwind course next). I felt that the teaching speed was just a little fast but then I used the player controls to slow down, but the explanations are outstanding. Also, the course has been updated to the lates Next JS version. I was a total newbie to Next. I knew very little JavaScript from a React course I started but never finished and now I understand so much more on destructuring, on functions and so much more. So I think the course is well suited for beginners with a little JS knowledge. I also gained a lot by having to debug my typos and when I was really stuck Tom answered my problems online and helped me out. Fantastic course. The first course I actually finished on here ever :).

This course was perfect for me, but ONLY BECAUSE I'M NOT A BEGINNER. He goes quite fast, does a lot of copying/pasting (which doesn't work from videos). I was able to keep up only because I've done most of this all before. PHP, React, Nextjs, Wordpress, Gutenberg, GraphQL, TailwindCSS etc. If you are new to these things go away and take courses on them first. THIS COURSE IS FOR PUTTING ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER WITH NEXTJS 13 TO ACTUALLY BUILD A HEADLESS WORDPRESS SITE.

Well, one of the best Udemy courses I've done so far. Tom is breaking all the problems in his lectures with a lot of valuable information. More important it's up to date. I will recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn how to use WP as a headless CMS. He speaks clearly (that's important for none English native person like myself ) and has this ' senior way ' of coding and refacto that we are looking for for this type of course. However, I'm wondering why Layouts aren't used but infinite it's a good way to practice on our own.

This was a great introduction to learning how to create a headless WordPress build with next.js. I did find the pace quite fast and had to re-listen to most videos several times. Overall though it's excellent and I hope to be using this in a real-world project very soon. I would love to know how to add a video block as well.
