Impact of Next.js 14 release on Next.js 13 lectures
Next.js 14
Next.js 14 was released on October 26th at Next.js Conf.
The main topics introduced at this event are Turbopack, Server Actions, Partial Prerendering(PPR), and Next.js Learn. For more information, please visit https://nextjs.org/blog/next-14 .
What's different from Next.js 13?
Now that Next.js 14 is out, is it okay to start with Next.js 13?
Since my lecture was created based on Next.js version 13, I think students will have questions like the above.
Next.js 14 is not much different from 13. There are some breaking changes and deprecations , but they are not enough to change the main content I introduce in my lectures.
There aren't any major changes, so is there a reason why the version was changed to 14?
Good question. Previously, it worked based on Node 16.14 or higher, but this Next.js 14 works based on Node 18.17 or higher. That's why they upgraded the version.
Responding to Change
I'm not sure if you're all confused or disillusioned by the rapid changes.
Just because a new technology is coming out right now doesn't mean everyone needs to know it. It's not too late to learn it when you need to. Don't feel pressured, and I hope you'll learn it step by step with me!
You can easily upgrade the example version to 14 by following the Next.js 14 migration guide . Also check out the branch applied to the weather app used in the lecture. ( hajoeun/weather-app/tree/next-js-14 )
New learning materials
Up until Next.js 13, the official tutorial didn't introduce App Router. This newly renewed page also introduces the new features introduced in Next.js 13.
I'm also providing a guide that you can learn by following along, covering parts that weren't covered in my handbook, so I think it would be good to take a look at it together.
On the one hand, it covers such a vast amount of content that I think it would be helpful to read my handbook first! (Friendly Next.js - Official Document Overview: https://book.hajoeun.dev/friendly-next-js/ )
