Learning Next.js and creating a web app

Hi all,

We all know the power of Next.js the react framework. Combined with technologies like Tailwind CSS, Firebase, Stripe and inbuilt Node.js API, Next.js allows great developer experience and feasibility to develop robust web apps. 

In this course, we will start from the very basics of Next.js and then take a step forward to build a web app for event creation and booking. While we code we will learn some new concepts as we apply them in our app. We will start with understanding basic concepts like SSR, SPA and SSG. Then create the Next project, add Tailwind CSS and Firebase to it. We will then see the Next basics and then use our learning to make an app.

As I mentioned, the app is an online platform that allows a user to create an event that could be an online or offline event. This event can be purchased by other users except for the creator itself. We will use Firebase admin and client–side SDK for database, authentication, file storage. I have also explained how to write rules for Firestore and storage. We will use Stripe API to take payments. The app will be styled using Tailwind CSS. You will also learn some ATOMIC web design principles and code reuse as I have tried to implement them as much as possible. We will also see how to create and use API by reusing the Next.js Node.js server.
