HUGE updates!

1) My Professional React & Next.js course is completely finished! Link: bytegrad.com/courses/professional-react-nextjs I'm very proud of it, it's my best work. It is as far as I know the only high-quality course that starts from absolute scratch in React and takes you to the cutting edge of web development in 2024 (advanced Next.js applications). Check it out here: bytegrad.com/courses/professional-react-nextjs -- I will leave the launch discount running for a few more days.

2) I'm a Brand Ambassador for Kinde! They have a wonderful product for authentication with a generous free tier (10500 free monthly active users). It's a paid sponsorship, but even if they weren't paying me I would still use their solution for authentication in my Next.js apps. They have an exciting upcoming feature as well (billing), which will solve the issue of managing users and their billing / access status separately. Check them out here: kinde.com/

It's a really exciting time to be a developer, there is a lot of innovation right now. A single developer can build much more and faster than even 1 year ago. If you keep up with all the latest innovation it should only get better!

Not for beginners: I will be talking about authorization in Next.js / Node.js / React with Cerbos Hub on February 8. I expect the webinar to be mostly useful for experienced developers, particularly those coming from a backend or DevOps background, or anyone that has experienced the pain of managing roles & permissions (e.g. in a complex product). It's happening on February 8. Check it out here: zoom.us/webinar/register/1617065329505/WN_jcmzN9DG…

Also, my Professional React & Next.js course is as good as finished. The last project (PetSoft) took longer than expected due to its cutting-edge tech stack (full CRUD with optimistic UI, Next-Auth v5 beta, all the latest Next.js features like server components, server actions and route handlers, React Hook Form with Zod, etc.). But it's all recorded and (almost completely) edited.

It's a truly unique course that goes from zero to cutting-edge, full-stack Next.js. Because of that, I will be increasing the price once the last project is added to the playlist. I will give a heads up before that's the case so that if you / your friends / colleagues still want to get in at the launch price they still have the opportunity to do so.

I also want to express my gratitude to anyone that has supported me by buying a course or sending a nice message. It's very motivating and there's much more to come! Stay tuned!

How do Wix / Squarespace build their page builders? Well, I created a tutorial on building a page builder with the Froala rich text editor in React / NextJS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F33xZ...

Just added the buy button to my React & Next.js course page: bytegrad.com/courses/professional-react-nextjs (note that some advanced content still has to be added -- but I expect this will be soon).

Some of you already purchased, that's amazing and thank you!

Just a quick heads-up: my React & Next.js course will be LAUNCHED in a few days on November 22. I just sent the course page to my e-mail subscribers (sign up here: email.bytegrad.com/). Really excited, the value in it is insane. :)

I'm super close to releasing my new React & Next.js course. Super excited about it.

Make sure you're subscribed to my email newsletter so you'll be notified + get launch discount: email.bytegrad.com/

It will be the highest-value course in the whole web dev space, because it will be an all-in-one course -- you will master all of this:

1) Mastery of React fundamentals
2) Advanced React patterns & best practices
3) Mastery of Next.js (App Router) fundamentals
4) Advanced Next.js patterns & best practices
5) TypeScript
6) Tailwind CSS
7) Framer Motion
8) Prisma
9) Critical libraries like React-Query, Redux Toolkit, React-Hook-Form, Zod, a charts library, Shadcn UI, and more
10) Git & GitHub workflow, dev/staging/prod environments, CI/CD

The projects are amazing, my proudest work so far. I show screenshots of them to my email subscribers (sign up at email.bytegrad.com/).

By the end you'll be a senior developer capable of creating advanced, full-stack web applications from scratch.

Should be here soon, get ready :)

Hope to see you on the email list (email.bytegrad.com/)!

- Wesley
