JavaScript powers the web - it's **the** most important programming language you need to know as a web developer.

For example, you should understand code like this:

```js
const basics = 'Okay, that should not be too difficult actually';

function printBasics() {
  console.log(basics):
}

printBasics();
```

NextJS is a the React framework for production - it makes building fullstack React apps and sites a breeze and ships with built-in SSR.

NextJS is a framework for ReactJS.

Wait a second ... a "framework" for React? Isn't React itself already a framework for JavaScript?

Well ... first of all, React is a "library" for JavaScript. That seems to be important for some people.

Not for me, but still, there is a valid point: React already is a framework / library for JavaScript. So it's already an extra layer on top of JS.

Why would we then need NextJS?
Because NextJS makes building React apps easier - especially React apps that should have server-side rendering (though it does way more than just take care of that).

In this article, we'll dive into the core concepts and features NextJS has to offer:

-File-based Routing
-Built-in Page Pre-rendering
-Rich Data Fetching Capabilities
-Image Optimization
-Much More
