This course is a little bit interesting in the way it’s structured because it’s actually divided into two main parts. That’s because Next.js has two main ways of rendering and using it. These two ways are fundamentally different in the way they work, which is why the course is divided into two different parts.
The first main part will focus on the application router. You will notice that there are several sections in this course that will be prefixed by the application router. That way you know that they are specifically about the application router.
After that, I have a few sections specifically about the page catalog. So you know there’s a specific section for application router and there’s a specific section for page catalog.
Finally, at the very end of the course, there is a general section that will apply to both the application router and the page catalog. It doesn’t matter which way you plan to actually render your Next.js applications. This general section applies to both of these different paradigms.
The nice thing about Next.js is that you can use both of these paradigms at the same time, but the app router is a new way of doing things. I personally find it more enjoyable and easier to work with, whereas the page catalog is technically the old way of doing things, but it’s actually not that old and many companies still use it, so I’ve included both parts in this course
