Your First Steps with Next.js
Starting with Next.js: A Natural Progression After Mastering React.js

I'm a Full Stack Web3 Engineer crafting cutting-edge dApps and DeFi solutions. From writing secure smart contracts to building intuitive Web3 interfaces, I turn complex blockchain concepts into user-friendly experiences. I specialize in building on Ethereum, Sui, and Aptos — blockchain platforms where I’ve developed and deployed production-grade, battle-tested smart contracts. My experience includes working with both Solidity on EVM chains and Move on Sui and Aptos. I'm passionate about decentralization, protocol development, and shaping the infrastructure for Web3's future.
Advantages i saw in Next.js
App Routing
Rendering
Full-Stack Framework
Code Splitting
App Routing
It was amusing to me ; since in react we use react-router-dom package and import <Browser Router> and Router and routes and so on right.
When i used next js ; its like app routing is file-based system; which saves lots of time and easy to navigate through pages .
Rendering
The way Server-side and Client-Side rendering works in nextjs is really good ; where the developers has the freedom when to choose client-side and server-side .
Check Out this link to know when to use and not to .
Full-Stack Framework
The way how nextjs handles the api endpoints is also very cool ; instead of running a separate backend server in another port and use tons of npm package ,
We can just create a api folder in app folder ; just start to create api end points .
Code Splitting
Code splitting ; this is my first time to hear about it , and it increases User experience while we use next js.
When we use nextjs ; when user clicks about page only the js code of about page is only rendered instead of rendering the whole webApp.
And this is done automatically ; in react its done manually with lots of code in it.
Special mention
import @ feature was very useful though ....
In the End its all React though...
Building a project along learning Nextjs; soon i will update it....
If we have some good knowledge of react and some good backend knowledge ; then i think the transition will be smooth ...
