Introduction to Next.js 9

Overview

Next.js is a fantastic framework that allows us to build performant server-side rendered React apps with ease.
In this series, we will learn how to utilize the powerful features of Next.js 9, like API routes and Static Site Generation (SSG), to build full-stack React apps. We will use Auth0 to handle user authentication and authorization, and we'll also learn how to integrate the excellent Chakra UI component library into our Next.js project to make it a breeze to build beautiful and modularized user interfaces. Finally, we will import and deploy our project from GitHub to Vercel, the deployment platform built by the creators of Next.js.
