5. Project Setup & Structure
- Creating projects with create-next-app & npx
- App Router vs Pages Router: when to use each
- File-based routing: folders, page.tsx & layout.tsx
- Next.JS project directory structure & conventions
- next.config.js: environment variables, rewrites & redirects
6. App Router & Routing
- Nested layouts: shared UI across multiple pages
- Dynamic routes: [slug], [...slug] & [[...slug]] patterns
- Route groups: (group) folders for organization
- Parallel routes & intercepting routes
- Link component, useRouter & usePathname hooks
7. Rendering Strategies
- Server-side rendering (SSR)- getServerSideProps & fetch in Server Components
- Static site generation (SSG)- generateStaticParams & build-time data
- Incremental static regeneration (ISR)- revalidate options
- Client-side rendering (CSR)- 'use client' directive & when to apply
- Choosing the right rendering strategy per page
8. Server & Client Components
- Understanding the Server/Client Component boundary
- 'use client' & 'use server' directives
- Composing Server & Client Components together
- Passing data from Server to Client Components
- Common mistakes & anti-patterns to avoid
9. Data Fetching Patterns
- fetch() in Server Components with caching options
- cache: 'force-cache', 'no-store' & revalidate settings
- Parallel & sequential data fetching
- Streaming with Suspense & loading.tsx boundaries
- SWR & TanStack Query for client-side data fetching
10. Server Actions & Mutations
- Defining Server Actions with 'use server'
- Form actions: progressive enhancement without JS
- useFormState & useFormStatus hooks
- Optimistic updates with useOptimistic
- Revalidating data after mutations: revalidatePath & revalidateTag
11. Tailwind CSS in Next.JS
- Tailwind CSS setup, config & JIT mode
- Responsive design utilities: sm, md, lg, xl breakpoints
- Dark mode: class & media strategy
- Component design patterns & @apply directive
- shadcn/ui & Radix UI component libraries
12. Next.JS Built-in Components
- next/image: automatic optimization, lazy loading & srcset
- next/font: self-hosted Google Fonts & zero layout shift
- next/script: third-party script loading strategies
- next/link: prefetching & client-side navigation
- Metadata API: title, description, Open Graph & Twitter cards
13. API Routes & Route Handlers
- Route Handlers- GET, POST, PUT, DELETE in app/api/
- Request & Response objects- NextRequest, NextResponse

15. Authentication & Authorization
- NextAuth.js (Auth.js): providers, sessions & callbacks
- OAuth: Google, GitHub & social login configuration
- Credentials provider: email/password & JWT sessions
- Role-based access control (RBAC) with middleware
- Protecting routes: Server Component & API route guards
16. Global State Management
- Zustand: lightweight stores with slices
- Jotai: atomic state for granular reactivity
- Redux Toolkit: slices, thunks & RTK Query
- URL state management with nuqs & searchParams
- Server state vs client state: choosing the right tool
17. Advanced Routing Patterns
- Intercepting routes: modal patterns (.)folder syntax
- Parallel routes: @slot folders & multi-panel layouts
- Route handlers with streaming responses
- Middleware chaining & conditional routing logic
- Internationalization (i18n): locale-based routing
18. Real-Time Features
