General domain of usage  
Full-stack web application development

Welcome to the Next.js course! We'll learn the main features of Next.js 14 by building a full-stack web application.

## Building the TradeHub Admin Platform
We will develop **the TradeHub Admin Platform** in this course. This platform will enable us to track sellers, invoices, and income. The platform will consist of several pages, including:
- A landing page accessible to all users;
- An authentication page to ensure the safety of all features;
- A dashboard page which will be the hub of all activity;
- A page where we can perform CRUD operations with the invoices.

## By the end of the course
You will have gained expertise in all modern features of the Next.js 14 framework, and you will be able to apply this knowledge to your applications.

Learn to build modern, high-performance web applications using Next.js. Set up projects with structured layouts, styling, and routing for seamless navigation. Fetch and display data efficiently while optimizing rendering and performance. Implement advanced features like pagination, CRUD operations, and global search for dynamic web apps. Deploy your Next.js projects and connect them with databases, and add authentication to protect user data.

Let's discuss what you need to learn before diving into the Next.js framework, what to expect from this course, and what you'll build.

We will set up the project, inspect ways to add styling to our app and cover visual aspects such as images, fonts, pages, and layouts.

Learn how to easily create and manage a new view for your app and navigate through all pages seamlessly with an incorporated routing system.

Deploy the Next.js app using GitHub and Vercel accounts. Additionally, establish a database to supply the app with the necessary data.

Consider how to obtain and show data to the user clearly and efficiently.

Discover how to implement modern web features such as pagination, CRUD operations, global search, form validation, and more.
