Next JS & Typescript with Shopify Integration - Full Guide

This course is misdescribed. It is specifically "How to architect a Shopify app with Nextjs and Typescript". I was looking for a course teaching Nextjs using Typescript and this is definitely not that. The teaching style is very much "watch me as I code", some may like this but I prefer more structured courses that cover topics thoroughly. I picked up some useful bits, but I abandoned the course about 1/3 in. The prerequisites for this course state that only basic Javascript and no knowledge of Nextjs are required. The course teaches zero Javascript and dives into Nextjs coding with zero explanations. You definitely need reasonably good knowledge of Javascript and Nextjs before starting. For example, his first piece of code uses getStaticProps. He does quickly skip over the structure of the getStaticProps function that he is creating but if you haven't already done a Nextjs course you will have no real idea what getStaticProps is or why it is used. The course does cover things required by a Typescript beginner, but it also seems to dive immediately into more advanced stuff rather than just sticking to basics initially. While the course is structured logically regarding lessons, within each lesson you get an unstructured brain dump which can sometimes be tricky to follow because the instructor talks and types quite fast. I'm not a total beginner with Nextjs or Typescript, so I actually found useful bits because his brain dump covered things I hadn't come across. However, I didn't fully understand what was going on a few times and had to look up stuff elsewhere. Early on in the Typescript section, he gets into the weeds regarding generic types and extending interfaces, types, and classes. I presume he is doing this to demonstrate how you can implement highly typed code while still achieving any of the flexibility that can be achieved by the free for all that is Javascript. However, he doesn't explain this. Maybe I'm missing something but in my opinion, any code that makes use of all of these esoteric options he covers would be a nightmare to understand and I can't imagine doing it. In general, he seems to err on the side of complicating things even when there is seemingly very little to gain. E.g. Reusable layouts in lesson 73. Following the theme of complicating things the instructor is using Tailwind indirectly by defining CSS classes using Tailwind's @apply feature. Presumably, he is doing this to make the JSX prettier, but by abstracting Tailwind you throw away the benefit of directly applying formatting to React components in an easily readable form. The Tailwind documentation explicitly says "Whatever you do, don’t use @apply just to make things look “cleaner”, and the comments that I have found on forums suggest that most people think that this is a bad idea. Why define CSS classes using Tailwind? Why not just skip the need to learn Tailwind and define the class using standard CSS? Why define custom colours in CSS and use those definitions to define custom colours in Tailwind? Why not just define them directly in Tailwind? Early on simple examples are used to demonstrate each topic. The course does not set practice exercises and quizzes are relied upon to test that the student understands the lesson. The course cycles through the instructor re-coding iterations of the Shopify app and uses these to introduce new topics. However, topics aren't always introduced in depth just what the instructor happens to be using at that point in the coding. Lesson 76. The configuration of tailwind.config.js appears to be different now.

It would greatly benefit the course if the instructor put more effort into delivering the content in a clear and concise manner. Using clear explanations, visual aids, and breaking down complex concepts into smaller, more manageable pieces could greatly enhance the student's learning experience and understanding. Improving the explanation will make the course more accessible and useful for a wider range of students.

The teaching is good, if you has problem just ask in Q&A (Fast respond). But i think Definitely not for beginner

I really appreciated the project structure and how Filip organized his code. Great course -- two thumbs up!

This course was exactly what I was looking for. This is indeed a full package of everything you need to learn. Filip is awesome!

good course, namun kurang test di setiap slide nya, misal jika mempelajari optional parametes harusnya ada beberapa (1 s/d 3) pertanyaan yang jawabannya harus tepat, baru user bisa next ke slide berikutnya, jika user masih salah dalam menjawab harus diulang, dan ditanya terus sampai ia menemukan jawaban yang sesuai.

Don't listen to other reviews complaining about the english of the tutor or that there are no explanations. This course is going amazing so far and the teacher uses decent english and explains concepts as we code and also reviews them and repeats difficult areas. He has an accent but this does not equate to not using good english, and its totally understandable even to me who's english was not the first language. We make a great app and dive deep into nextjs, typescript usage, graphql, shopify integeration and just general app architecture and more. Great course.

Good content (will be able to improve the skills if you are a beginner) with a terrible English accent and poor explanation. It is hard to understand what he is sometimes saying, even with the captions turned on. Consider before buying.

The instructor is very knowledgeable and I like his teaching style! So far no complaints in regard to course material and from what I’ve seen in the Q&A he is very helpful and committed to helping students with problems with their code. One major problem I’m currently facing is that he sometimes talks a little to fast for me, even slowing down to 0.75x playback still doesn’t help at times and anything slower is not viable. I found that headphones help although it’s not ideal since I personally don’t like using them for a long period of time. So yes, there’s still potential for the instructor’s delivery to improve. I still recommend the course especially if you’re new to typescript and want to learn Next JS with a big practical project.

You should finish this course from start to end because every lesson has nice new findings and fun to following steps. Definitely this course is the best one of learning Shopify in practical way.

El instructor habla de algunos términos sin explicarlos, asumiendo que cualquier persona debe entenderlos.

This is such a great course! This is the second course that I have taken by Filip Jerga and both have been awesome. Very detailed instructions and at the end you will integrate and deploy a production ready project! I would highly recommend this course.

Instructor made great efforts to explain the Typescript concepts which I find a bit complex. I will have to do a slow review of them and am not clear of the benefits of using Typescript, as of now will stick to MERN stack

Good course content-wise and in terms of the app architecture, just presentation of certain things could have been better. The explanations (especially for complex concepts later in the course) were sort of all over the place. I had to spend lots of time putting together diagrams of my own and making sense of a lot of things since the explanations were a bit disorganized. So I'd say overall the teaching could have been a bit more efficient, but the material itself was great and very helpful. I feel after taking the course and spending time making sense of the more complex topics, I can dive deeper into the Shopify storefront API and add more features to the app without issue.

Thank you Mr. Fillip so far this course very good for to understand typescript and integrated into nextjs but the instructor voice less clear sound
