Building a Strong Foundation

00:00 We all know that a house needs to be built on a solid foundation. But somehow, we end up not applying that same principle to the applications that we've write. I've worked on and audited many different Next.js and React applications, and I can see when developers really care about maintaining the quality of their code and their project. Your project infrastructure is the foundation of your house and professional developers build from a strong foundation. So in this section of the course I'm going to give you the tools to help build a really solid application.

00:35 To help with that, we are supplying with this course a project infrastructure markdown template. It's a guide that you copy and paste into your repo and then start working on with your team. It covers every aspect of infrastructure. There are questions in each section that will help you decide on the approach that is best for your application, with you and your team. And there are even some links to relevant technologies to get you going.

01:01 The idea is to use that template in conjunction with all the videos and examples in the section to show you how to get started in many of these areas. And just like you should keep working on the infrastructure of your application, we are going to keep improving this section by adding more videos and refining this template. So what you see right now probably isn't the template that you're going to get. You're going to get a much more improved one. In the meantime, check out that template and enjoy learning about all the options you have to improve the quality and infrastructure of your Next.js application.
