The Complete React 19 & Next.js 16 Bootcamp – From Zero to Fullstack Developer

Master React 19, Next.js 16, React Router 7, Redux Toolkit, React Query, Zustand, Supabase, Authentication, Performance Optimization, Drag & Drop, Dark Mode, Real-Time Features, Testing, and More — by building real professional projects step by step.

Why this course is different?

React has become the most in-demand front-end library in the world. Now, with React 19 and Next.js 16, React has reached a new level, combining frontend, backend, real-time communication, database integration, server actions, authentication, and streaming into one powerful fullstack framework.

Most courses still present a number of challenges:

• They teach outdated versions of React.
• They focus on theory without real projects.
• They show basic to-do apps that do not help you get hired.
• They do not teach how things actually work under the hood.
• They never cover React 19 features, React Router 7, or modern Next.js 16 full-stack features.

This course is different. You will not just “learn React 19,” you will master it completely using a project-based approach, covering both frontend and fullstack React development. This includes:

• Modern Next.js 16 features
• Authentication and databases
• Server components and streaming
• Error boundaries
• Real-time chat
• Secure form handling

You will build professional-grade applications, including a real estate app, a portfolio website, a Trello-like Kanban board, a driving test app, a weather app, a card flip game, a full-stack story collection platform, and a real-time chat app with authentication. By the end, you will be ready for real-world jobs, freelance projects, or launching your own SaaS startup.

The Learning Approach:

Throughout the course, you will learn not just the “how,” but the “why” — you will understand how React actually works:

• Re-render cycles, batching, and component purity
• Virtual DOM and reconciliation
• Commit phases and state updates
• Why React 19 is faster and smarter
• Why certain patterns prevent bugs and boost performance
• When to use useEffect, useRef, Context, or Reducer — and when NOT to use them
• How to structure scalable React apps like senior developers do

What You Will Learn (and Actually Build):

1. Fundamentals of React 19 & JSX — Build a Strong Foundation

• Setup React 19 with Vite (modern, fast development environment)
• JSX deep dive — writing UI with JavaScript and HTML combined
• Passing props, handling events, and writing conditional logic
• Rendering lists with the key prop — mistakes to avoid
• Styling React apps — CSS Modules, Tailwind, and inline styles
• Understanding pure components and writing bug-free React logic
• Visualizing your UI as a Tree — the React mental model

Project 1: Cambridge Rentals (Real Estate Application)

A professional UI-based application to display property listings using components.

• You will build: Header, Footer, Property Cards, Property attributes, badges, icons, Clean component architecture, and File structure like real production apps.
• This project teaches: Component composition, props, reusable components, and JSX best practices.

2. Adding Interactivity — Making React Apps Truly Dynamic

• Handling clicks, input events, and form events
• Understanding event bubbling and stopping propagation
• Updating arrays and objects in state
• React state batching — how React updates multiple state changes efficiently
• Virtual DOM → Trigger → Re-render → Commit → UI Update
• Mini Project: Shopping Cart with Add/Remove Logic

Project 2: To-Do List Manager (LocalStorage + CRUD)

• Add, edit, delete tasks, toggle completion
• Persist data with localStorage
• Create modular components and separation of concerns
• This project builds your confidence working with CRUD operations, persistence, and component breakdown.

3. Deep Dive into useReducer — Managing Complex State

• When to use useReducer instead of useState
• Reducer logic, dispatching actions, and payloads
• Avoiding state mutation and designing pure reducer functions
• Best practices, debugging, and patterns

Project 3: UK Driving Test App — Built with useReducer

• Question navigation, Progress tracking
• Score calculation, Result view, Clean state management
• This project simulates real-world testing systems, using reducers to manage multi-step workflows.

4. React Context — Global State Without Prop Drilling

• When to use context vs. when NOT to use it
• Creating context providers and consumers
• Combining Context + Reducer (Redux-like logic)

Project 4: Portfolio Website with Dark/Light Mode (Context)

• Theme persistence, Scroll-based navigation
• Responsive UI, Testimonials, project filtering, animated design
• Perfect for your personal portfolio website or freelance clients.

5. Understanding useRef — Controlling the DOM Responsibly

• When to use refs (and when NOT to)
• Building timers, Accessing DOM nodes, Focusing inputs
• Storing mutable values without re-rendering

Project 5: Card Flip Matching Game (useRef)

• Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm
• useRef to manage flipping logic
• Sound effects and animations, Confetti on win
• Game reset functionality
• This builds your understanding of DOM manipulation, refs, and game logic in React.

Project 6: Weather App — useEffect + APIs

• Live weather API using Open-Meteo
• Fetch, transform, and display data
• Reusable presentational components
• useEffect dependencies and cleanup
• Learn how to properly manage API calls and data rendering.

Project 7: Story Collection App (React Router + Context + Supabase)

• Multi-language support, Supabase integration
