Our Verdict
Next.js 15 & React: The Complete Guide offers extensive coverage of the App Router and various React concepts, presented in a clear and engaging manner with practical examples and projects throughout ten sections. However, it is important to note that this course feels repetitive for those with existing React knowledge, and begins to cover outdated content beyond section 10. The overall value is further diminished with the omission of essential components such as TypeScript integration, containerization techniques, and adequate coverage of beginner-friendly practical skills.

Potential Drawbacks
- Lack of TypeScript integration, ORMs, and containerization
