My review for this book is good enough as a start.
There's a lot of fundamentals breakdown and a great set of examples to learn from.
The code is a bit outdated, as it uses next prior to next 13, with the old routing system.
The writer is injecting a good set of his opinions in the book, so don't take everything as said there, take it with an eye of a reviewer.
A good section to learn the Atomic design principle is organizing the code base and fetching data in nextjs where you will dive a little bit (with links and resources mentioned) deep into the atomic world.
A great section to learn from is the using a custom server, where you will learn how to put nextjs inside a express or fastify server and serve it from there.
A mid section is the working with SEO and managing performance, you will have a taste on how to decide which rendering technique to use and you'll create a middleware to inject dynamic meta data.

I read a book for work lol 🎉 literally no one should read this review you will probably be bored out of your mind.
overall really enjoyed this book. the content was organized in digestible pieces and gave a good overview of all the different flavors of next.is that can be implemented. all the e-commerce examples felt very relevant to my work and the corresponding git repo was a nice touch. I personally think the routing sections were too light and the author should have gone more in-depth especially because that is a really unique feature to this technology. so yeah can’t give 5 stars, but definitely recommend to people as a first step to learn more.

It was hard for me to choose between 4 or 5 stars, because the book covers a lot of useful content but I'm giving it 4 stars because it's a bit repetitive with the rendering types that nextjs has(that are awesome), it doesn't go deep with important topics and the examples are pretty straightforward. Anyway I recommend this book to any developer how wants to start using nextjs, it's a great framework

A bit Dry, but there is some Solid advice in there.
