Fundamental Next.js API and Patterns
Instructor
Lazar Nikolov
This course goes beyond just getting started, and will teach you everything you need to know about the fundamentals of Next.js.
Next.js gives you the full power of React while also filling in the gaps in one package. It’s optimized and gives you a first class page building experience and just enough structure to keep you productive.
It is React’s recommendation for building server side rendered (SSR) web apps, and it features SSR and Static Site Generation (SSG), TypeScript support, routing, and more.
There’s a lot to learn. But by going through this course you’ll be building a rock-solid foundation with Next.js for yourself, especially if you work along with the workshop exercises that Lazar put together https://github.com/nikolovlazar/egghead-beginners-guide-nextjs.
During this course you’ll do the following:
- Set up a new Next.js project and customize the default components and configuration
- Create static and dynamic routes and implement navigation with the Link component
- Style your app with Global CSS, CSS Modules, CSS-In-JS, and UI frameworks like Chakra UI
- Learn the difference between and how to use the various rendering methods in Next.js (SSG, SSR, ISR)
- Use API routes to fetch data
- And finally deploy your app to Vercel!
So start watching and become a Next.js pro today!

Learner Reviews
- Learner6 months agoWhat did you like about this course?
your approach style is very nice
- Learner9 months agoWhat did you like about this course?
SSR,SSG and ISR very well explained. Would be nice if this course gets updated with new upgrades from Next.js
- Denys9 months agoWhat did you like about this course?
I would consider this course as a for very, very beginners and outdated (I'm not even sure are there any beginners in a wild that starting right ahead from the next.js so they don't have experience working with the documentation provided by the tool). Most of the information could be easily gained from the first chapters of the next.js documentation. I would probably admit SSG, ISR and SSR lessons and couple more after as at least helpful on a conceptual level. A little bit disappointed. Waited more information on a conceptual level to understand how next.js works.
- Learnera year agoWhat did you like about this course?
Really great teacher. I hope he does a Next Js 13 course. In fact, he should update the majority of courses on Egghead.
- Giedrius2 years agoWhat did you like about this course?
From the 12th lesson it got really difficult and too fast.
- michaelbruns12 years agoWhat did you like about this course?
It was a good balance of practical skills and progression of content. Also, instead of just providing a link to the entire github repo and then a quick blurb in video 1, the author supplied the link to the specific git folder in each course. There were other salient reasons why this was a great course but that should suffice!
