🎁 A FREE Next.js Roadmap for you and a industry trend you MUST know


Hello Reader,

So, React got really confusing... πŸ˜…

Remember when things were way simpler before these Meta frameworks came along. Even the React docs recommend to use a Meta framework and Next.js was the recommended one for the longest time.

Now, Next.js has not just one but *TWO* Routers.

Not to mention the overwhelming number of updates between Next.js versions as well as breaking changes to keep up with.

I don't blame you if you are frustrated.

After 15+ years of building and scaling apps for companies like IBM, WealthSimple, Shoppers Drug Mart and Tim Hortons (and helping apps reach millions of users), I've seen firsthand *how challenging* it can be to master modern full-stack development.

But here's something interesting I've been noticing in the tech world

β†’ Next.js has become THE go-to meta framework for building modern full stack applications (with over 7.5M downloads 🀯 in the past 1 year alone)
​→ Companies are actively *hunting* for developers with Full stack experience
​→ The demand for Next.js developers is skyrocketing πŸš€
​→ Engineers who master Next.js? They're commanding premium salaries πŸ’°

And here's what many of you have been telling me:

β€œAnkita, I’m struggling with…”
​→ Keeping up with evolving best practices
​→ Bridging the gap between tutorials and production-ready apps
​→ Understanding what to pick - Static vs Dynamic Rendering
​→ Organizing code in a scalable way

To put it simply: you're overwhelmed and unsure about the "right way" to do things aka the best practices.

But here's the thing, it doesn't have to be this way.

One way to help you with this is a comprehensive Next.js Roadmap I've put together.

FREE Next.js Roadmap 🎯

Now, You might know me from my YouTube tutorials and courses ↗️.

Through years of experience and countless production deployments, I've developed a systematic approach to building modern full-stack applications with Next.js - one that has helped scale apps to millions of users.

And I want to share it all with you.πŸ‘‡

I've packaged all my learnings and experience into ONE comprehensive resource.

>>> It is called the Modern Full Stack Next.js Course. <<<

If I wanted to be known for one thing, this would be it.

I’ve distilled *everything* I’ve learned into a comprehensive course that will transform you into a confident Modern Full-stack Next.js developer.

What makes this course different? You'll,

🧠 Think Like a Senior Engineer: Learn the architectural decisions that matter

Hence, Over the next few days, I’ll show you:

  • How to master Server and Client Components (and why most developers get this wrong)
  • The exact framework I use to build production-ready Next.js apps and more

It won't be marketing fluff but the good stuff πŸ‘Œ.

I know you might be thinking:

>> "There are so many free resources - why invest in this course?"
>> "Is this too advanced/basic for my level?"
>> "Will this work for me if I'm just starting with Next.js?"

I'll address all these questions (and more) in my next email, where I'll reveal the exact process that has helped over 10,000 of my students succeed.
