If you want to learn, my advice would be to focus on learning one thing at a time. Pick up react. Just react. NextJS (and other libraries included here) solve specific problems in specific ways. It's hard to know if they solve them in the way that works for you if you don't understand the problem they are solving, or what other approaches might look like.
Once you're comfortable with how react works, then start layering in additional libraries and tools, and get a feel for how they work. You may also find they introduce new pain points that don't work for your particular project. When you're trying to learn everything all at once, it's hard to figure out where a pain point is even coming from.
- brundolf 4y agoTotally disagree. Trying to fully understand a stack this tall from the get-go would be a huge barrier One of the best things about Next is that it configures everything for you and lets you just start writing some React code and seeing results. I would recommend the GP start with Next, and dig deeper as they go along
- jstummbillig 4y agoAgreed. React by itself is mostly unusable for building anything – although that is slowly changing but alas: NextJS gives you a more solid starting point to build stuff around React. Precedent seems a little half-hearted at this point.
