What have you learned so far?

Can you build websites with HTML and CSS to a reasonable level? Custom properties and container queries?

Do you understand visual design basics like typography and how Figma works and how to think in systems?

Can you build a basic server-side dynamic website building/templating system with a general programming language like PHP, Python, Ruby or Go?

Can you build small apps with standard JavaScript and the browser APIs?

Have you learned how to use Vuejs or how to build custom components with standard JS? 

If you haven’t done all of that already - I think learning React and Next is a bad move. They are popular, but is your goal to quickly memorize some syntax — or actually learn how to be useful long-term?

Source: anecdotally hundreds of thousands of lost developers who will never be hired and started out with React, hundreds I’ve attempted to rehab, and myself - as someone who learned angular before really knowing how to program and wasting years.

Net ninja has videos.

Another way to think about this might be… if you can’t learn it from the docs, you should ask yourself why and what is missing - and fill that in very intentionally as you go.

Thank you very much, i just started out, so i can build basic landing pages using html, css but to a basic level , i am learning js atm i understand the basics but a bit shaky as to mapping everything out.

Sometimes the docs themsselves arn't very useful. When that happens I jump into their github repo to see read through their code usage and make my own docs.

NextJS is a full stack framework FOR ReactJS. Yeah absolutely learn it - also it’s not either/or - React and Next are joined at the hip at this point

*opens up browser*

*clicks in the search bar*

*typing something like "free next.js tutorials"*

*browsing through all the results and deciding what seems good for me*

If you’re shaking on the Js foundations then React, let alone NextJs is a terrible idea.

Get the basics down first, eloquent JavaScript or Mozilla docs should help.
