​
What You’ll Build

Throughout this program, you’ll migrate a real enterprise warehouse management system (VSL Service Center) from Create React App to Next.js with App Router. You’ll modernize the backend API, implement modern data fetching patterns, and deploy the complete system to production on Vercel.
This learning path is designed for developers familiar with React and JavaScript, but new to Next.js App Router, modern deployment practices, and enterprise-scale application migration. No prior Next.js experience is required.

​
Learning Outcomes

  • Migrate complex React applications from Create React App to Next.js 14 with App Router
