Learn Next.js
Next.js is a framework built on React that adds routing, rendering strategies, data fetching and build tooling, so you are not assembling those pieces yourself.
Why teams use it
- Pages can be rendered on the server or pre-built at deploy time, which helps both speed and search visibility.
- File-based routing removes a whole category of configuration.
- Server and client components let you keep data access off the browser.
Where you will meet it
A marketing site that must load fast and rank well, alongside an authenticated dashboard in the same codebase, is a common Next.js setup.
What to learn, and in what order
Work through these roughly in order. Jumping to the advanced list before the basics are solid is the most common way people get stuck.
