Learning Next.js and creating a web app

🎉 Mastering Next.js & Building a Web App with Firebase, Stripe, & Tailwind CSS 🌐

Course Instructor: Aditya S Kadam

Course Title: Web App Development Using Next.js, Firebase, Stripe API, & Tailwind CSS

Course Overview:

Dive into the world of modern web development with our comprehensive online course. We'll explore the full potential of Next.js, a cutting-edge React framework, and leverage its capabilities alongside Tailwind CSS for styling, Firebase for backend services, and Stripe API for payment processing to create a robust web application for event creation and booking.

What You'll Learn:

• Basics of Next.js: Understand the core concepts like Server-Side Rendering (SSR), Static Site Generation (SSG), and how they differ from a traditional Single Page Application (SPA).
• Project Setup: Initiate your Next.js project and integrate Tailwind CSS for a responsive design from the get-go.
• Firebase Integration: Master the use of Firebase SDKs for handling database, authentication, and file storage with robust security rules.
• Stripe Payment Processing: Learn to implement Stripe API for seamless payment transactions within your application.
• Styling with Tailwind CSS: Enhance your app's UI with atomic design principles and efficient code reuse, all while using Tailwind CSS.
• API Creation & Usage: Discover how to create a custom API leveraging the inbuilt Next.js Node.js server, and understand how to consume it within your application.

Building Our Project:

Our project will be an online platform that enables users to create and book events. We'll cover:

• Setting up Firebase for real-time data synchronization and authentication.
• Handling file uploads with Firebase Storage.
• Writing secure rules for Firestore and storage to ensure the safety of your application.
• Integrating Stripe API to handle online transactions.
• Deploying the application on Vercel for a live, global presence.
