🚀 Course Headline: Build & Deploy Your Own Modern Blog with Next.JS and React Hooks, Enhanced with the Power of Headless Sanity CMS! 🚀

What is Sanity? 🤔 Sanity is the platform for structured content that empowers you to manage your text, images, and other media effortlessly through APIs. It offers an open-source single-page application, Sanity Studio, which allows for a highly customizable editing environment. With its rich suite of tools and libraries, Sanity ensures your content is a single source of truth, easily accessible and managed. This course will introduce you to the core concepts to get you started on the right foot. 📄✨

What is Next.JS? 🚀 Next.js is the React framework that revolutionizes server-side rendered (SSR) applications by providing a robust infrastructure and a seamless development experience for creating such applications. It features:

• An intuitive page-based routing system with support for dynamic routes
• Versatile pre-rendering options, including both static site generation (SSG) and server-side rendering (SSR), on a per-page basis 🌐🛠️

Main Project Overview 🖥️ We'll kick off the course by setting up an immaculate application layout with the latest React and Next.js practices, leveraging hook functions to their fullest potential. This lays the foundation for creating our blog application with a professional look and feel.

Once the initial layout and pages are in place, we'll move on to Sanity Studio. Here, you'll get hands-on experience preparing actual data, including setting up two document types: Blogs and Authors. You'll learn to define various fields such as "Code Blocks," "Images," and more, ensuring your application can handle rich content.

Afterward, we'll dive into displaying blogs on our application pages. You'll learn best practices for processing images, applying stylings to code blocks, and much more. 🖌️🔧

Advanced Functionality & Features 🔧 As we progress through the course, you'll learn to:

• Apply different filtering options, paginate items, and sort data to create a dynamic user experience.
• Use the provider and consumer pattern to control themes within your application, including toggling between light and dark modes.
• Utilize the Preview feature in Sanity to view draft blog data before they are published, ensuring you can fine-tune your content before it goes live.

Deployment with Vercel 🌐 In the final stretch of the course, we'll deploy our application to the Vercel platform. Your application will be statically optimized for performance and speed, ensuring a smooth and responsive user experience. You'll see your blog go from concept to live on the web, all within this comprehensive learning journey.
