About this course

After React, TypeScript, Secure APIs and Testing, connect the browser, server and database in one app. In about 10 hours, build a private journal with Next.js 16 and Supabase sign-in. Let owners read and edit their own entries, and show clear messages while loading, saving or handling an error.

What you will be able to do

Explain server and client boundaries in a Next.js application.
Build validated data reads and writes with account permissions.
Choose loading, error and cache behavior appropriate to the data.
