Getting Started with Next.js

Next.js is a powerful React framework that makes it easy to build server-side rendered and statically generated web applications. In this post, we'll walk through the process of setting up your first Next.js project.

First, you'll need to have Node.js installed on your machine. Once that's done, you can create a new Next.js project using the following command:

npx create-next-app@latest my-next-app

This will set up a new Next.js project with all the necessary dependencies and a basic file structure. After the installation is complete, you can navigate into your project directory and start the development server:

cd my-next-app

npm run dev

Now you're ready to start building your Next.js application! The framework provides a great developer experience with features like automatic code splitting, optimized performance, and easy deployment options.
