Hi, I'm Ankita 👋🏽
I'll be your instructor for this course and here is a little bit about me.
So React got really confusing.
And the Ecosystem of Next.js is quite daunting. You need to know what to learn, where to focus and what the best practices are.
The React team has suggested to use a framework to learn React. And Next.js has been the recommended framework by the React docs for the longest time.
And you tried learning Next.js on your own through Youtube and other tutorials but yet, you don't know what it takes to build production-ready apps.
And let me tell you, it is not your fault 💛. It is quite hard to know what to learn and where to focus on top of your day-to-day work.
This is where the Modern Full Stack Next.js course comes in...
The Modern Full Stack Next.js Course is a hands-on interactive course that teaches you how to build production-ready apps with Next.js. You won't just simply watch me code but you will learn by doing.
The course is filled with a lot of exercises, interactive demos and real-world projects to help you truly build a strong intuition for Next.js. All of this leading to building a couple of big apps.
The course will cut through the noise and help you learn where to focus on no matter what your level is. Truly, this course is the Ultimate Course you need to master Next.js.
I've created this course to teach you what I've learned architecting and building apps with Next.js.
It will push you to think how Senior Engineers build and architect apps.
This course covers **everything** from the basics of Next.js like what is Next.js, where to use it all the way to Advanced topics like Server components and Client components Patterns, Architecture Best Practices, API Routes and how they are different from Middleware and more.
Next.js is built on top of React so I've included a Bonus module on "Introduction to React" to help you understand the fundamentals of React.
The content isn't surface level fluff. It is full of in-depth content with real-world examples.
Which is why this course focuses on building more real-world production-ready apps. And not just one big app that you work on but several projects and interactive exercises to help things click for you.
If I teach you a lesson, we not only learn "the what" but also why we are using it and when to use that concept. And that is how you'll start **building a intuition** as you go through the course on Next.js.

Curriculum
The curriculum is quite comprehensive and consists of 9 modules so far along with a bonus module on "Introduction to React" and few exclusive bonuses.
Please note, this curriculum may change after the release of the full course*.
MODULE 01
🚀 The Next.js Essentials
Let me introduce you to what makes Next.js truly special. I'll show you why Next.js is my go-to framework and how its built-in optimizations make it different from regular React apps.
Together, we'll build a Pokédex app twice - once in vanilla React and once in Next.js. Trust me, once you see the difference, you'll understand why Next.js is so powerful.
Ready to test your skills? You'll tackle the "Detect Next.js Components" challenge. Don't worry if it sounds daunting - I'll guide you through it.
MODULE 02
🗺️ Routing in Next.js
This is where things get exciting! Routing in Next.js is a game-changer. I'll break down both the App Router and Pages Router but recommend starting with App Router.
We'll build "Authy" together - a real authentication system that'll teach you routing patterns you'll use in every project. You'll learn middleware, route protection, and error handling.
By the end, we'll build a Course platform layout from scratch. I'll show you how to handle nested routes, loading states, and create error pages that users will actually enjoy seeing.
MODULE 03
⚡ Master Server & Client Components
In this module, we dive deep into React Server Components - Next.js's most revolutionary feature. You'll learn how they fundamentally change component architecture and why they're crucial for modern web applications.
Through hands-on exercises, you'll convert client components to server components, implement security best practices, and master the art of choosing between server and client rendering.
Here's a fun project: We'll be building animated interfaces using Framer Motion, where you'll learn advanced patterns for combining Server and Client components.
MODULE 04
🔄 Master Data Fetching Strategies
Data fetching in Next.js offers powerful capabilities. In this module, you'll master these by building an AI-powered application that showcases various data fetching patterns.
You'll learn static generation, server-side rendering, and incremental static regeneration. Through practical examples, you'll understand when to use each approach and their impact on performance.
By creating a visual guide to Next.js caching, you'll gain a deep understanding of how caching works at different levels and learn to optimize data fetching patterns.
MODULE 05
🎯 Caching Deep Dive
Believe it or not, we need to change how we build modern Next.js apps. The old container to child pattern is back and for a good reason.
You'll love my "Visual Guide to Caching" demo where you can see data flow through your app in real-time. Plus, experiment with different caching strategies in the "Cache Playground".
Complete hands-on exercises in the caching playground, implement different caching strategies, and master the art of performance optimization.
MODULE 06
🛠️ Backend Integration with Server Actions
Server Actions are Next.js's newest Superpower But they can be dangerous if you don't know how to use them.
Together we'll build a complete AI application that handles form submissions and data mutations. You'll learn patterns for cookie management and form handling.
You'll experiment with a cool "Magic Cart" demo to see instant server mutations without page refreshes.
MODULE 07
🔍 Effective SEO Optimizations
SEO is crucial for web apps, and Next.js makes it easier than ever. You'll learn how to optimize your app for search engines, including handling dynamic routes and server-side rendering.
Next.js has a powerful Metadata API that allows you to control page content for SEO. You'll learn how to use it effectively and implement structured data.
You'll learn about structured data, how to implement it in your app, and how to test it for accuracy.
MODULE 08
🚀 The Secret Sauce of Deploying Production-Ready Next.js Apps
This is where we make your Next.js apps bulletproof for production. I'll share my deployment checklist refined over years of shipping Next.js apps.
Together, we'll set up a complete CI/CD pipeline. You'll learn to automate deployments, handle environment variables safely, and implement proper error monitoring.
You'll play with our "Performance Profiler" demo to spot and fix common production issues. We'll simulate real-world scenarios like memory leaks and slow database queries.
MODULE 09
Upgrading your apps the right way
This is a special module that I'm adding to the course. It's not required, but it's a great way to learn how to upgrade your apps the right way.
Every version of Next.js comes with new features. You'll learn how to upgrade with minimal disruption and maximum benefit, especially for production apps.
Learn how to ensure your users don't experience any downtime or issues during upgrades, and how to determine the right time to upgrade.

Loved by Past Students
Here are some of the things my past students have said about the course
Michael Boitmann
Field Support Engineer @RA Jenks
It's really hard to expect anything less than excellence in her course. The workshop was really good, and I thought I wouldn't be able to catch up, but it turned out the other way around. A great course is always Ankita's output, and the complexity of the topics turns out to be easily understood whenever she explains it. I've seen plenty of other courses, but she always explains it better and gets it stuck into my understanding. There's no need to think twice if you're a beginner and getting her course; it's definitely fit for everyone.
