NextJS is a **framework for ReactJS**.

Wait a second ... a "framework" for React? Isn't React itself already a framework for JavaScript?

Well ... first of all, React is a "library" for JavaScript. That seems to be important for some people.

Not for me, but still, there is a valid point: React already is a framework / library for JavaScript. So it's already an extra layer on top of JS.

## Why would we then need NextJS?

Because NextJS makes building React apps easier - especially React apps that should have server-side rendering (though it does way more than just take care of that).

In this article, we'll dive into the core concepts and features NextJS has to offer:

-  File-based Routing
-  Built-in Page Pre-rendering
-  Rich Data Fetching Capabilities
-  Image Optimization
-  Much More

Getting Started with NextJS




JavaScript powers the web - it's **the** most important programming language you need to know as a web developer.

For example, you should understand code like this:

```js
const basics = 'Okay, that should not be too difficult actually';

function printBasics() {
  console.log(basics):
}

printBasics();
```

Mastering JavaScript




In college, I met a friend at a computer club who was showing a really cool application where you can swipe between different types of clothing! Being very intrigued, I asked my friend if there is any way I can help out and join the team! After some thinking, he told me to finish an assignment, and then they will consider me. Over the weekend, I finished the assignment and was right away told I can join the team, though I would be working for free. That was completely fine for me!
