Next Js 101 tutorial for beginners

In the last couple of months, we had tried lots of things to convey video creators, educators and artists to join Zujo app. But, We did not get people we wanted to drive the community.

Last week, I thought to create one course by myself and live the life of the creator. I thought that by doing this practice, I will understand the mindset of an educator. I will be able to put my foot in their shoes.

So I started searching on the topic of the course, first thought about Node JS then realised that many courses are available on it. Then after, thought of React JS but still wasn’t sure about it.

Finally, selected Next JS because it is easy to learn and a good crash course is a need of the day as well. Even we created a whole website zujo.co in next js.

It took me a week to create 8 episodes, but after so many takes and try completed it.

So, here is my first course: Next JS 101 tutorial for beginners:
