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

## File-based Routing

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




I have been using JavaScript since the beginning of my coding career! I used it to build simple websites and I used it to build large scale applications! Now I use it to teach others, as well as create large applications. The possibilities of this language are endless, and the use cases keep increasing every single day!

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();
```

Nowadays with everything being electronic, everything needs to be programmed! From computers to cars, machines, or anything else it most likely requires programming! So as a result, demand for coders keeps increasing year by year, due to all these technological advances!


Why learning coding is important?




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!


My first job as a developer




I'm a self-taught Fullstack Web developer who is passionate about writing code, solving problems, building react + Next Js App, I Teach Web Development, and Documenting my coding journey, I’m looking forward to collaborate on any Open Source project, which I consider interesting or useful!
