🎁 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.

>> "There are so many free resources - why invest in this course?"

Hey Reader, I just got back from Amsterdam after speaking at React Summit and wow, what a week! πŸ‡³πŸ‡± I gave a talk called React Framework Showdown πŸ₯Š, where I pitted Next.js, TanStack Start, and React Router v7 (aka Remix) against each other in a friendly battle. Why those three? Because they're leading the pack when it comes to modern React and honestly, each one brought something wildly different to the table. I'll share the talk when it's live, but for now, let’s hear it from this week's...

Hey Reader, Ever been stuck writing the same SQL queries over and over again… not because they’re hard, but because someone on your team needed the data and didn’t know how to get it? I’ve been there. Whether it’s marketing asking, β€œHow many users signed up last week?” or product wondering, β€œDid anyone actually use that new feature?”, the questions are simple but the friction to get answers is very real. So I built something for that. Introducing: the AI Agent that talks directly to your...
