I am already familiar with Next.JS for and have used it at work and in my side projects. I can say this course is teaching me some new concepts, and how to do things more efficiently. Like the theme and language change is super cool. I would have saved days if I had watched it at the start of my NextJS coding journey. I an excited about the AI Chat section,. Good course so far, I will say

Updated review: Very happy with the course so far, This is a lot better than the portfolio website i had and I am sure it will help me in job searching. I have also learnt alot from the instructor and would recommend.
