Becoming a Proficient Next.js Developer in 2023: Introducing the Next.js Product Engineer Roadmap

Purpose Behind the Roadmap

Our primary intention behind curating this roadmap is to demystify the ever-evolving landscape of Next.js and its ecosystem. As most of you might agree, with the fast-paced tech world, navigating through myriad tools, best practices, and the 'new hot things' that crop up almost every month becomes increasingly challenging. This roadmap is your beacon in this expansive universe. If ever you find yourself muddled about what to plunge into next, let our roadmap guide you.


However, it's vital to stress one thing: our roadmap isn't a directive to chase what's "hip and trendy". On the contrary, it's a comprehensive guide aimed at illuminating why and when a particular tool or methodology might be apt for specific use cases.

Hip & Trendy vs. Right Tool for the Job

A common pitfall many aspiring developers and even some seasoned ones fall into is the allure of the "new" and "trendy". It's tempting to jump onto every fresh framework, library, or tool that enters the limelight, believing it's the golden ticket to creating the best products.


However, the reality is more nuanced. A proficient engineer understands that every tool or methodology has its place. What's vital is discerning "why" a particular tool might be more suited than another for a specific context.


Our roadmap is designed with this philosophy at its core. Rather than pushing you toward the latest buzzwords, it offers an unbiased perspective on the available tools and methodologies, emphasizing the rationale behind choosing one over the other.


We genuinely hope our roadmap will be your trusted companion on your journey. Whether you're a newcomer looking to set foot in the vast realm of Next.js or a seasoned developer aspiring for mastery, this roadmap is designed to cater to you.
