00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Hi, and welcome to this course.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,000
My name is Maximilian Schwarzmuller,

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
and I will be your instructor in this course

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
where I will teach you NextJS from the ground up

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
step-by-step and in great depth.

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
And I will teach you all about NextJS, not just in theory,

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
but instead by building multiple exciting demo projects.

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
By the end of the course, you'll therefore be able

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
to use NextJS in your own projects,

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,000
and you'll be able to build

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
amazing full-stack applications with React.

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Now, speaking of React,

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
that's the one prerequisite for this course.

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
You should have basic React knowledge

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
because NextJS is actually a framework that builds up on top

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
of React, and I'll get back to that in the next lectures.

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
But you should have that React foundation

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
so that you get the most out of the course

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
because this is not a React course, but a NextJS course.

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
That being said though, the very next section

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
after this first section will be a React.js

22
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
refresher section so that you can go through

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
that section in case it's been some time since you last

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000
worked with React.

25
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
But with that, let's not waste any time.

26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Let's instead dive right in.

27
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
And let's start with the most important question.

28
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
What exactly is NextJS and why would you need

29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
or use it?
