Getting Started with Next.js

Next.js is a powerful React framework that makes building web applications easier and faster.

Next.js provides:

**File-based routing** - no need to configure routes manually

**Server-side rendering (SSR)** - better SEO and performance

**Static site generation (SSG)** - pre-render pages at build time

**API routes** - build backend APIs alongside frontend

Start by creating a new Next.js project:

```bash

npx create-next-app@latest my-app

cd my-app

npm run dev

```

Your Next.js project structure will look like:

```

my-app/

├── app/

│ ├── page.tsx

│ ├── layout.tsx

│ └── globals.css

├── public/

├── package.json

└── tsconfig.json

```

The `app/` directory is where your pages and routes live. Each folder with a `page.tsx` becomes a route.

Now you're ready to start building. Explore the Next.js documentation and start creating amazing applications!
