next js learn

Summary

Is it necessary to learn JavaScript before learning Next.js?
I know a little bit of JavaScript. I want to learn Next.js completely, but I don’t understand where I should start.

I'd say, even with zero JavaScript knowledge it is still possible, but obviously the path will be longer.

The learn section https://nextjs.org/learn contains good resources to get started. As far as JavaScript patterns to know, I could sketch some basic:

• pass by value / pass by reference, aka why console.log({} === {}) prints false
• Array iterating with map/filter
• let, const, arrow-functions, functions
• async/await and Promises
• callbacks and closures
• JSX understanding

The nice thing is that you can learn those while practicing writing React within Next.js

I should also add, that Next.js is a web framework, that uses React. JavaScript/TypeScript plays a big role, but it is not the only knowledge area. In general, knowing how the web works, is also necessary, understanding client-server communication, how data is transferred, and persisted, etc... but these can come later on.

Thanks, bro.I’ve been working on it using the link you gave me.For the past two days,I’ve been learning to become a full-stack developer.I’m doing everything on my own,So it’s taking me some time to learn.Even if I find videos on YouTube,they don’t explain things properly—they just cover the basics.And the things you mentioned,I will definitely do.Thank you,bro.
