Hi, I'm Wesley. I'm a brand ambassador for Kinde (paid sponsorship). My Professional React & Next.js course is OUT NOW! Find it here: bytegrad.com/courses/professional-react-nextjs -- this is the #1 resource to master the latest React & Next.js + ecosystem, my absolute best work.
Very comprehensive landscape of the Linux model of web development, but really, it just highlights the problem with that model. Namely, unmanaged runaway development. This only appeals to idiots who think it guarantees job security. Think again. Making a career out of this model is impossible not because everything is forever changing (it is) but because it follows the market, not the science. Once the science is robust the market needs to change it. Everyone is simply competing for sales of their latest idea. The one thing that does never change (and should) is the attitude that the Linux hosted Frankenstein web development platform model nightmare is a good thing. It isn't. Its very very bad. So in spite of all the shortcomings of the perpetually half baked Microsoft Windows hosted web development platform model, it is a fully integrated model. That makes it considerably cheaper in the long term for enterprise scale development not just because it's easier for both experienced and inexperienced developers to acquire the latest (Microsoft) skill set, but because there are also way more of them. And BTW, they are a lot happier people too.
I have 10 years experience with front-end, mainly Angular. I have been unemployed for 9 months. In this time I have learnt React, Next, Nest and a slew of other stuff. In all, I have taken a look at 85% of this and worked heavily with 65% of it. And yet, I remain unemployed. I don't think it matters what you learn, unless it's on the job.
Sydney market. 100+ applicants for many jobs. Very few angular jobs advertised. I have started getting React interviews but muscle memory isn't great for tech tests. When it comes to years of React experience, I answer less than 1 year commercially, despite my broad web frontend / SPA / Agile / typescript etc experience. I'd have to lie about commercial React. I'm 54 years old with a solid CV. I wonder how much is about me, the market, and on-paper experience. I'm a pretty good dev, playing with lots of ideas and tech, busting with motivation, but probs have to sell up and change career, at least for a while. Was selective for a while but no longer nor is salary an issue. Thanks for asking
FOR JUNIOR DEVS: Do not learn new stuff all tthe time. Focus on something. React + Node backed? Good. Next? Good. Prisma? Good. SQL? Good. Just pick, focus and stop being biased by videos like this. Don't believe in miniatures like this video has - this is not true. New stuff will arrive each month ut this does not mean that you need to drop everything and run for a new.
totally false. we are gen z. we are young and we push for innovations. We will become managers. So we must stay up to date. Only boomerz like you want to defend the status quo but you can't stop us. we are the future of development and our salary is a fraction of yours so we are more competitive
I'm already comfortable with React JS and Node JS combination for front and back end, plus bootstrap for responsive UI, do I really need to learn Next JS? For mobile apps, I will default to Flutter. For Database, I work with Postgres or Firebase.
here's a tip: focus on React and don't give a f*ck about Next, Typescript, or whatever the future tech it shows you (unless you're a prodigy) Then only cares about it after (1.5-2 years of exp)
I love the way you're explaining difficult concepts in an easy and understandable ways, explaining the core of them not forgetting about advantages and disadvantages. That's why I've bought your React+Next.js course, I'm not a newbee in React, but some concepts are still needed to be improved, so that's why I chose you! :) Good luck with your chanel, I'm a big fan of it! ❤
To all juniors, learn how to solve problems with JS, CSS and html. Build cool stuff no matter which stack you choose. All framework it's just a plus, will learn them really fast once you get a job. They will not even ask you if you can do, they will believe in you. Plus you don't use so much of your knowledge at work, sometimes hard project will come and you will learn a lot but that's a rare case. Make a fun portfolio and host your own project. Next js is pain in the ass to host it or really expensive, you can use a vps but that's more money that you can always afford. but it's a overall good video. Finish it and straight rush into building something and that's it
just came to say, that tell me when JavaScript developers learn to keep the things simple, and stop changing the framework, or the way you write your JavaScript, at backend we have been using the same frameworks over years
lol i'm a backend guy looking to up my skills in front end and it's true. seems like front-end is always shifting with "what's most popular" being what's "important" but javascript, html, css always come back as the core that they just keep morphing around. that said i am happy to see some (react, angular) starting to settle and grow more tenure.
Front-end hasn't changed. If you want to do things the way people did in the 2000s you can, using vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript. However, if you want the new, more performant, more capable technology you will have to learn and adapt to it. Though I understand a backend language such as Python makes things easier as new technology is built on top of it as packages/modules and not an entire framework, however, the Python of today is very different from the Python of the 2000s as well.
It weirdly seems the Roadmap tailor made exactly for me at exactly the time I needed it....thanks man....and thanks universe for conspiring for my success
backend developer for the last 7 years (Spring) with some front end experience from college that's quite rusty. looking to up my skills. your video here was well worth the 25 min watch. will be checking out your course possibly.
As someone who's been struggling with imposter syndrome during my learning it felt good to say to myself " hey I actually already know most of that" (or at least the basics).
Nice list. The only thing not mentioned was testing that would be worthwhile to know (Cypress, Playwright, React Test Library, Jest, etc), but other than that I feel like your were spot on.
Well then you can expect " Next JS ❌" "Ups JXS ✅" The naked truth is that, every second new and newer framework and libraries pop somewhere around our mighty Earth !
I actually spent 5 years to learn and effectively use all the stuff you've mentioned in daily basis. I have 4 prod projects that are in various field of expertises and also actively employeed all this time from start.. I earn less than 1.5k USD a month. So what you earn(you've mentioned 10k) depends on where you work and where you live. 😅
I guess the question is, why should anybody make the development so much painful when by choosing a LIBRARY that doesn't even have the most simplest expected things for developing an application, and then after you find out your application is now a garbage, you then want to switch to something else that is called Next.js. So, why not just choosing a fully featured FRAMEWORK such as Angular!!! This is why it's very important for any company to have experienced senior developers to make important decisions that can save hundreds of thousands of dollar that were gave for salaries.
Pick something and learn it well. Pick something you'll dedicate yourself to because it interests you and stick with it. Build many different things-- clone software you like, build scripts and tools to automate tasks, look at stack overflow and github issues--constantly read, interact with the community and try your hand at hackathons/open source. If you master the foundations and principles, then you'll be able to master whatever flavor of the month comes up and pivot to match the market if you want/need to. This video is good for someone that's new looking for a decent roadmap or for someone that's experienced and wants to pivot. If you've been learning something and watch this, it's not worth it to change just because someone says it's popular.... Learn and master a language or a basic stack (and you'll come to find out you need to know a little bit about a bunch of related things, too) and let that experience transfer with you as you expand onto new things.
The booking api, every flight is a json with around 500 lines of information, probably more, so typescript is mandatory so you can use all the type definitions.. imagine moving so much data without autocomplete... . I say booking but not exactly them, I have worked with another similar api.
I’m team Kotlin with Ktor for backend, and actually use it for apps and frontend too. Kotlin is the new JavaScript, you can use it everywhere since it’s Multiplatform (even compiles to JavaScript)
Thanks for this. I used to do LAMP based web dev with Perl. I even used Zope for a time. More recently I’ve used research stacks like R Shiny but have been looking for more general tools. While it’s been a while, your vid brought me up to speed that I’m ready to make some key decisions about how to approach an upcoming project. It also helps me better understand some of the decisions my Web dev team has recently made - not all of them are good!
@@HolidayInGuantanamo yea I know, right? I actually liked it and it worked well for my department web site. The ZODB / backend database could flake out now and then but overall, Zope solved a problem with convenient accommodation for dynamic content.

Hello Wesley Great content I just started coding 2 weeks now I am studying to become a Front end developer first, get a job, then study to become full stack. I am happy to come across your channel
saying that ORM abstracts NOSQL and SQL differences is a big overstatement, you might abstract differences between similar DB implementations, but you need to understand differences betwen relational DBs and various NOSQLs as it quickly can become massively impacting for your performance soon and migration is not exactly easy.
As a dotnet dev I kind of feel for people that will take these types of videos as gospel and learn all this JS framework spaghetti without proper fundamentals. And then they get the 'MongoDB same as Postgres' (18:18) advice as cherry on top.
I’m still seeing on majority of job descriptions React is more common than Next. Typescript definitely should be learned. The triad html, css, JavaScript for sure. Node for sure and an ORM definitely. But, I’m not seeing any other serious movement towards those other technologies on job listings it’s far less common.
Really helpful video, thank you for making such a concise overview of the roadmap. I have a request - could you make a tutorial on implementing NextAuth and best practices with authentication in NextJS. Thanks.
Thank you for that. I never understood when to use next.js and when to setup a separate backend with express. Became pretty clear now. If you want any kind of feedback: don’t tell people they might earn 10k a month. It all depends on overall economy. And times are getting tougher. Your courses are great. Thank you for that. But learning software development is only one step on the way to become financially successful. Stay authentic. That‘s what makes your courses great stuff. ❤
Its really easy i have build an website in 4 weeks with user roles, thats ran an specific webscrapping task with file upload and Download. But i have never see so Bad documentation as on NextJS
great roadmap, but Isn't this relying too much in Vercel and nextjs?, I know that putting more things could be overwhelming, but what about other options for deploying, like using AWS S3 for deploying static websites, or AWS RDS for databases, or google cloud, asure options. And how to test everything, test a nextjs app for exemple. Idk if this goes out of scope of an web developer and more in a devops direction, but I feel that there's things lacking.
I think at the moment Vercel is the only one offering revalidation as part of the service, so I’m not surprised nothing else was mentioned. We’ve just moved away from Vercel, added our own revalidation solution, and now pay 10% of what we were paying Vercel, which was an eye-watering amount.
Fantastic tutorial, Extremely helpful, I was more or less thinking of the same thing and this is what i have done. I am building my own framework with Spring Boot backend and a React front-end. I am contemplating Vite VS Next, But for Form validation, I can easily do that in React,
Feeling good to see how much i have been progressed. Im been learning web development from q4 2022 and full time from may 2023. I have learnt more than 90% of the things mentioned in the video. I love react/nextjs ecosystem with typescript and tailwind.
Can u help me? I wanna know how i can do it? I had done pre medical but did not get into med clg. I had a lot of pressure and i had to something so i wanna know.
One Suggestion: Consider starting with Next.js before React.js for a seamless introduction to building dynamic web applications with server-side rendering and routing.
Hi there, I'm working in fintech and looking to enhance my technical skills. I'm particularly interested in understanding tools like Copilot and cursors. I've been following your channel and really appreciate the content. Do you have any recommendations for learning paths or resources that would be suitable for someone with limited coding experience, like myself? I'm also curious about how to balance learning with my current product-oriented responsibilities. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Speaking of shadcn, as a jr self taugh dev and who absolutely love your teaching methodolgy and overall aesthetic, I mostly only am hip to shadcn due to the modals. Though i tried the other day wraping the dialog overlay into a motion function to get some animation but gosh i couldn't figure it out. I then took a stab at trying to build my own modals and even using a global state manangement library (zustand), couldnt get the classNames to set fixed positioning and margin on the body and root divs in next14 app router. I know it's possible but i am still tinkering with learning how to be creative with server and interactive components. But gosh i am loving NextUI and whole bunch. I am surprised that i don't see as much hype on youtube as i do with aceternity and shadcn. Aceternity to me is a very raunchy situation though. and shadcn is so crisp! NextUI is a fine hybrid Thanks again for the superb Content, Wesly :)
- Copilot statistics are mounting and it doesn't look good. 5-10 increase of local value delivery speed but in some cases the defect rates double and it also fails on other quality metrics. - Typescript is very much mandatory at this point. - Tailwind substitutes the property complexity with class assignment complexity. In shot, just another css gimmick which'll burn for a few more years. - Next.js, yeah .. i see what it tries to do. But it's still solves problems which already had many solutions. SSR.. why the fuck would I render something on the server when the client machine has a perfectly usable CPU? I can imagine there are cases where it is not viable to offload processing to the user but I can only imagine. - State management libraries are dead, as it should be. They are 99% of the time a substitute for 150 lines of your own specific state manager. It is just not worth the effort of reading the documentation for anyone who vaguely understands state management. - Vite fails hard after you need any form of more than surface level configuration. - routing is another 50 line problem. - server side validation is not a best practice, it never was.
learn java or c# you will get job very quickly 90% of the entreprise code is in those two language just ignore node and nextjs are not used in banks and big finance company.
what about saas? for my case, the router/page frame structure of nextjs is confilicted against my requirement(the frame structure of login page and dashboard), so I used react-router and basically wrote everything manually - not using any framework.
"Too many libraries, too much stupidity". I've learned this, and I recommend it. Especially in the frontend, people who use Bootstrap, Tailwind, etc., instead of mastering pure CSS and JS, have no self-respect.
What would you do as a 40+ year old, or suggest to a 40+ years old without prior professional experience in coding/programming/dev: 1. webdev: HTML, CSS, JS, REACT, NEXTJS, FIGMA? 2. (big)data: PYTHON, SQL, PowerBI? 3. Web3/Blockchain dev: PYTHON, SOLIDITY 4. none of above, and stick to current job, no matter whatever it is, becaue ${reasons (age, ...)}!
How to stay a junior forever by chasing framework churn instead of learning the modern web platform. You'd be surprised by how simple and small all of the big scary monsters that react has been saving you from are.
Great video thanks. I’ve been a salesforce developer for 12 years, basically Java but with many parts of the stack taken care of (database, hosting, styling etc..). I want to build web apps now. Do you think a react + next.js stack is a good place to start or would svelte and svelte kit be better? Looking to build great web apps without getting too lost in tech details. Thanks again 🙏
@@ByteGrad awesome thanks. Maybe I’ll try both and see. React has so much support and info around it. I’ll def be watching more of your videos. Great content
Industry standards will always remain ridiculous, for my personal project I went with React + MobX, Firebase and a couple custom UI kits with vanilla CSS (utilizing flexgrid, etc). That's all you need to create a sleek lightweight SPA with users and backend.
I have been working with next professionally for the last year, And while I get how it's helpful, professionally, I have come to really dislike it. It's highly opinionated extremely inflexible, And only good what it's good at. I've been converting an app from next to react router and create video app. And holy crap, I can't begin to tell you how much nicer the developer experience is! Personally, If I got to choose the tech stack for a company I would go with either plane react or remix.run.

But learning software development is only one step on the way to become financially successful. Stay authentic. That‘s what makes your courses great stuff. ❤
Hey, thank you very much for this video, it helps so much for me re-Learning after 10 year pause.
Its really easy i have build an website in 4 weeks with user roles, thats ran an specific webscrapping task with file upload and Download.
But i have never see so Bad documentation as on NextJS
great roadmap, but Isn't this relying too much in Vercel and nextjs?, I know that putting more things could be overwhelming, but what about other options for deploying, like using AWS S3 for deploying static websites, or AWS RDS for databases, or google cloud, asure options.
And how to test everything, test a nextjs app for exemple. Idk if this goes out of scope of an web developer and more in a devops direction, but I feel that there's things lacking.
I think at the moment Vercel is the only one offering revalidation as part of the service, so I’m not surprised nothing else was mentioned. We’ve just moved away from Vercel, added our own revalidation solution, and now pay 10% of what we were paying Vercel, which was an eye-watering amount.
Thanks big Bro! Started on this journey last week.
Yep alot have change but im still maintaining component base react…
Thanks for the overview!
Fantastic tutorial, Extremely helpful, I was more or less thinking of the same thing and this is what i have done.
I am building my own framework with Spring Boot backend and a React front-end.
I am contemplating Vite VS Next,
But for Form validation, I can easily do that in React,
I think JS in backend is just wrong. So does Nextjs. I recommend Vite against Next.
Unit Testing and End to End Testing with Cypress needed to be mentioned, no company works without testing.
Feeling good to see how much i have been progressed. Im been learning web development from q4 2022 and full time from may 2023.
I have learnt more than 90% of the things mentioned in the video.
I love react/nextjs ecosystem with typescript and tailwind.
Can u help me? I wanna know how i can do it? I had done pre medical but did not get into med clg. I had a lot of pressure and i had to something so i wanna know.
@@Usama-y1j yeah definitely.
can you explain what you are looking to do in web development, and how much you know about programming.
For React, subtle shoutouts need to go to Remix. Definitely a solid Next competitor especially if they add support for Server Components
Any good intro or course that you could please point me to?
Unfortunately, there are very few Remix-oriented jobs
One Suggestion: Consider starting with Next.js before React.js for a seamless introduction to building dynamic web applications with server-side rendering and routing.
I khnew backend is deep but why we learn all of this ? Just learn django,php or java.
i think docker would be an addition to this list at this point
Awesome vid, Wesley. Looking forward for the next vid!
Stay tuned! :)
Hi there,
I'm working in fintech and looking to enhance my technical skills. I'm particularly interested in understanding tools like Copilot and cursors. I've been following your channel and really appreciate the content. Do you have any recommendations for learning paths or resources that would be suitable for someone with limited coding experience, like myself? I'm also curious about how to balance learning with my current product-oriented responsibilities. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Speaking of shadcn, as a jr self taugh dev and who absolutely love your teaching methodolgy and overall aesthetic, I mostly only am hip to shadcn due to the modals. Though i tried the other day wraping the dialog overlay into a motion function to get some animation but gosh i couldn't figure it out. I then took a stab at trying to build my own modals and even using a global state manangement library (zustand), couldnt get the classNames to set fixed positioning and margin on the body and root divs in next14 app router. I know it's possible but i am still tinkering with learning how to be creative with server and interactive components. But gosh i am loving NextUI and whole bunch. I am surprised that i don't see as much hype on youtube as i do with aceternity and shadcn. Aceternity to me is a very raunchy situation though. and shadcn is so crisp! NextUI is a fine hybrid
Thanks again for the superb Content, Wesly :)
Świetne rady, dzięki!
- Copilot statistics are mounting and it doesn't look good. 5-10 increase of local value delivery speed but in some cases the defect rates double and it also fails on other quality metrics.
- Typescript is very much mandatory at this point.
- Tailwind substitutes the property complexity with class assignment complexity. In shot, just another css gimmick which'll burn for a few more years.
- Next.js, yeah .. i see what it tries to do. But it's still solves problems which already had many solutions. SSR.. why the fuck would I render something on the server when the client machine has a perfectly usable CPU? I can imagine there are cases where it is not viable to offload processing to the user but I can only imagine.
- State management libraries are dead, as it should be. They are 99% of the time a substitute for 150 lines of your own specific state manager. It is just not worth the effort of reading the documentation for anyone who vaguely understands state management.
- Vite fails hard after you need any form of more than surface level configuration.
- routing is another 50 line problem.
- server side validation is not a best practice, it never was.
after watching the first video, I am watching this and subscribed. you are awesome.
"Everything is changing" is exactly what every webdev wants to hear just as they learn what they need to and get grounded, right? Right?!
I find myself using Solid and leptos the most now. If I need fine tuned global websocket updates ill use Yew.
Very useful, thank you Wesley!
Also: trpc for typesafe apis, Convex for database service, Clerk for auth 👌
How to earn ? Could u just elaborate on these more like getting job ?or getting client from where?
same lol
Yes, will make a dedicated video on this
@@ByteGrad thank you so much, really looking forward to it!!! That's the biggest bug in our life at the moment 😅
@ByteGrad waiting for the video.
He show us the way of JS-based web dev roadmap. At the same time he show us the Tool which replacing us Now 👍
Nice video. Consider looking into Ionic/Capacitor a bit more, their ecosystem exploded exponentially over the last couple of years.
Will take a look, thanks! :)
Literally the video I was looking for.
I thought my skills were out of the market but I actually know all of this lol
learn java or c# you will get job very quickly 90% of the entreprise code is in those two language just ignore node and nextjs are not used in banks and big finance company.
Hi!
I visited your website and i have a question.
In your react.js/next.js course do we build a fullstack app and deploy it on vercel?
Hi, yes 👍
@@ByteGrad thank you, i like your course 💪🏻
the timing of this video can not be understated
sooo many thing to learn 🤯
what about saas? for my case, the router/page frame structure of nextjs is confilicted against my requirement(the frame structure of login page and dashboard), so I used react-router and basically wrote everything manually - not using any framework.
"Too many libraries, too much stupidity". I've learned this, and I recommend it. Especially in the frontend, people who use Bootstrap, Tailwind, etc., instead of mastering pure CSS and JS, have no self-respect.
Thank you very much for this!
I'd like to know your opinion on GraphQL.
Isn't it relevant to include in the roadmap?
10k/mo ?? Man I'm underpaid 😔, but just thankful to have a job rn
Pretty useful video and important informations, thanks
What would you do as a 40+ year old, or suggest to a 40+ years old without prior professional experience in coding/programming/dev:
1. webdev: HTML, CSS, JS, REACT, NEXTJS, FIGMA?
2. (big)data: PYTHON, SQL, PowerBI?
3. Web3/Blockchain dev: PYTHON, SOLIDITY
4. none of above, and stick to current job, no matter whatever it is, becaue ${reasons (age, ...)}!
Super helpful. Thank you
React devs acting like Typescript is something new. In Angular we used it as default like 8 years ago.
(all of us MS stack devs to the competition: "yeah.. go learn all of that stuff! Lol")
How to stay a junior forever by chasing framework churn instead of learning the modern web platform. You'd be surprised by how simple and small all of the big scary monsters that react has been saving you from are.
Thank you!
You would be much more happier doing farming than sitting in front of a screen 16 hours a day.
Great video thanks. I’ve been a salesforce developer for 12 years, basically Java but with many parts of the stack taken care of (database, hosting, styling etc..). I want to build web apps now. Do you think a react + next.js stack is a good place to start or would svelte and svelte kit be better? Looking to build great web apps without getting too lost in tech details. Thanks again 🙏
Interesting. I'm biased and would prefer React & Next.js (that's what's my channel about) but there are people that love Svelte.
@@ByteGrad awesome thanks. Maybe I’ll try both and see. React has so much support and info around it. I’ll def be watching more of your videos. Great content
Trying to board the same boat here. 🙌🏼Good luck! 👍🏾
Not all websites are writen in SPA, actually the biggest websites and NOT SPA, like amazon or evay for example.
Nice video, thanks!
Industry standards will always remain ridiculous, for my personal project I went with React + MobX, Firebase and a couple custom UI kits with vanilla CSS (utilizing flexgrid, etc). That's all you need to create a sleek lightweight SPA with users and backend.
Thank you for the update.
Using strapi or CMS as a backend , isn’t better idea?
I have been working with next professionally for the last year, And while I get how it's helpful, professionally, I have come to really dislike it. It's highly opinionated extremely inflexible, And only good what it's good at. I've been converting an app from next to react router and create video app. And holy crap, I can't begin to tell you how much nicer the developer experience is! Personally, If I got to choose the tech stack for a company I would go with either plane react or remix.run.
Yeah, the hey days of Next.js are over. Still gets a lot of attention though.
