From React to Next.js: Adjusting The Thought Process
Thursday, February 1, 2024 - 4:30 PM UTC, for 1 hour.
Regular, 60 minute presentation
Room: Campsite 5
Next.js is a React framework and as such, it is opinionated. Even though you may be very familiar with React, creating an application with Next.js requires a change in your thought processes. In this presentation, you will go from the client-side focus of React to the server-side focus of Next.js. You will learn about the benefits Next.js provides with this server-first approach and when these benefits may be desirable. You will learn the difference between static, static-site generation (SSG), server-side rendering (SSR), and incremental static regeneration (ISR). There will also be time for Q&A to help answer questions you may have.
