Hi will you be offering your latest course (React & Next.js) on Udemy? I saw your previous 2 courses were already on Udemy and my preference is to buy from there. Thanks
you are THE ONLY ONE who actually is trying to explain this on examples which aren't complete copies of the documentation together with the same, exactly the same, explanation. I'm so thankful I can't even express this properly in words, it's very frustrating to look for some explanations and just getting these videos with the exact documentation copy paste with 0 info over and over and over again...... man

After the first few sections, I ended up watching the entire video. You do an excellent job of providing real world scenarios and examples on the topics, as well as explaining the alternative of your advice. Awesome work
I have seen quite a lot of NextJS videos on KZread and also courses from Udemy. This is the BEST so far. Practical examples to demonstrate the mistakes. And most importantly it rephrases those big terms we see in documentation in a layman way that beginner can understand. Thanks for the video
This is gold, thank you. Well explained, especially the server/client component differences and woes, such as Hydration errors. Extra Side Note: I rarely, if ever, watch a 2h video tutorial in one go, so kudos for keeping it extremely relevant for Next.js devs :)

I've been working with Nextjs for two years and you made me aware of so much mistakes I made in past projects. Great video.
really good video. At start i thought it's too fast, but repeating stuff just makes it so clear by the end
This is actually the #1 next js video for beginners. You cleared up so much of my confusion
You are the best Next.js teacher 🌟 I've bought overpriced Next.js courses from KZreadrs with 1M+ subscribers, but nobody explains like you do! 👍
this is not only the best nextjs video I've watched, it is also one of the best overall programming videos I've ever watched. I can't stress enough how useful this is. thank you so much!!!
Video is freakishly helpful. Great job buddy.
exactly what i was looking for. keep it up!
You are the man! This channel is a gold mine for people learning NextJs. Can't praise and recommend you enough!!!
Highly comprehensive video! Keep going
I'm just around half way there in the video & feeling like I have watched hours long tutorial. Highly appreciate the content! Highly appreciate your efforts & knowledge! Bundle of thanks!
Great video. I am only 20mins in and it has already cleared up server/client confusion I had while starting to work with Nextjs.

Most concise react content creator, thanks a lot for the tutorials!
myyyyyyy heroooo its a treasure for nextjs devs!! really expecting a video like this from you!!
Thank you, Wesley, you resolved many of my issues.👍
Nice overview! I have some experience with React and started learning NextJs. Currently, I'm building a full-stack app, and for a front-end I decided to use NextJs. So your video is a good reminder of which mistakes need to be avoided.
This is what we need, it clears all the misconception about next js, huge thanks to you sir.
Amazing! Awesome! Fabulous! You have explained ALL what all common confusions go on with NextJs. NextJs should include this video in their official guides and help/troubleshoot/Faqs docs. This cleared most of my doubts for which I was not finding a fitting resolutions together combined anywhere else. ❤ Thanks alot #ByteGrad

@@ByteGrad One thing doubt remains, when I have to use header on all page, or authentications , how to make sure not all pages become dynamic rendered? U said middleware word, but that not explained. What is real solution?
@kaziprosper2229
Ай бұрын
Middleware is a special file you create at the root of your next js project. This file is where you put all your authentication logic. Just like loading, error, route and page files have a special meaning in next js, a middleware file would automatically be recognized by next js and would be run by next js before the routes you specify in the matcher of helper function written in your middleware file.
hands down, one of the most useful video on next.js. Subscribed.
Thank you for the clear explanations!
Awesome this is a exactly what I needed. Thanks so much for making this video.
This was an awesome knowledge pill! I've watched it in one go and now I understand my code better. Thank you!
Thank you. Great Explanation!
Only about half hour into the video, but already learning a lot. Thank you so much for making this
One of the best video on NextJS doubts which will only arise once you become expert in NextJS after completing FEW videos FEW projects. But your video is so amazing that if any dev will watch it completely will definitely become pro in NextJS and any confusion which used to come when we do large project will be cleared out after watching this, Thanks :) Much love from India.
Great video, bro! I learned a lot more than I did from the Next.js documentation because you explained things thoroughly. Thanks a lot for your hard work.
My god was that well explained. I needed that video months ago when I started my project it would have help soooo much. Thank you for the video
Perfect timing! I'm currently on week 4 of learning Next.js and this video has been very helpful 🤓🙏🏼
This is pure gold.
This video is an absolute gem! 🌟 The explanation of the Next.js app router and pages router differences was incredibly clear and helpful. The examples provided on server components and client components really made it easy to understand where to use each. I especially appreciated the deep dive into hydration errors and how to handle them. Keep up the great work! 🚀👏
wowzers! this was awesome 2 hours! agreed with comments above, mistakes you were showing, was the mistakes i made in a some of my previous projects great job! subscribed!
Movie length video. GOATed
lot of hard work. just 12 minutes into this video and i already liked and subscribed this channel.
thanks man, keep posting videos like this
Great video! Very clear
Wesley, U r AMAZING! Thank you!
Really useful knowledge and well explained! So easy to miss some of these when starting with next.js. Thank you!

Amazing video! This was super helpful.

amazing quality content.kudos
Please make a similar one for next-auth, thank you Grad.
Not even halfway through. AMAZING. I have learned some of the subtle dance between client and server. Thank you, I thought I was going crazy. Question about your course (React + Next): Do you provide a pattern of Client > Next Auth > Server > Database > Back to Client > Edit/Update/Upsert > Revalidate? Or something close? If not, can I request a paid consultation?

amazing video, i started to smell my code and when i went to your video, it was indeed my code was smelly :D
I learned a lot. Thanks
This video is really good. I’ve just finished reading the docs and you just filled all the blanks in my mind. Btw, what Vs code theme are you using? Thx
I can say just very good video for all not only beginners
Content is awesome. Volume needs to 3x atleast
Coming from other ssr frameworks it’s absolutely terrifying using web APIs causes next to entirely collapse without specifying magic words use client. Just something you don’t need to think about in other frameworks.
very informative , thanks
This video is super relevant, I learned a lot of things, I found out that I was not validating my server actions, I'll have to address this because I thought that nextjs automatically validated them but now that I think, there's now way that next will know what type things are for validation, this is just a typescript layer. I have to come up with a nice validation strategy for keeping types but knowing that it can be unknow data for server actions.
Useful information
idk if we should call them mistakes or footguns :D either way, great video!
This is a very good video. Nice work
This is so good. I want to click the like button many times for you... thanks...

Such an underrated channel!
If I have a card component that fetches database data, and this card component needs a zustand state transferred via props, how could it be done? The issue appears when I need client parent component using client state, and loads a child from server component. If I do an API I can solve this because everything will run at the client, but I want to get rid of APIs to connect to the database. thanks!!
quality work
Incredible content 👏
I normally dislike youtube videos to learn about frameworks and programming but, I believe nextjs documentation is way too high level and as soon as you hit some specific problem is rather useless. As many others said, this cleared a lot of my confusion with nextJS, thank you.
Amazing video 🎉
Good Stuff!
Your videos are great
Thank you bro
useful !
