Next.js Foundations

Prepare for the self-paced Foundations workshop. Across four sections you'll build a marketing app and a blog using Next.js and Vercel. This page covers the projects, prerequisites, and section roadmap.

The Next.js Foundations workshop is a self-paced build across two apps for ACME Corporation. You'll work with routing, data fetching, caching, forms, error handling, and deployment.

This course targets Next.js 16.3. In Project Setup, you'll upgrade both starter apps to 16.3 before working through the lessons. The curriculum includes Instant Navigations with Partial Prefetching, Cache Components, root params, custom error boundaries, and the latest Turbopack workflow.

Start by reviewing the roadmap and setting up the repository. Each section builds on that setup and ends with working features you can deploy.
