Hello everyone, as someone who's just starting with Next.js, I'd love to get your thoughts on how to manage the process. Specifically, what should I learn before diving into a project? For instance, what about page structures, routing systems, and what should I focus on when it comes to API connections? Also, which methods do you rely on for debugging? What resources have been most helpful for beginners? Thanks in advance!

After really getting a solid grasp of React, moving on to Next.js was the best decision. At first, the routing system confused me, but once I understood the difference between the `/pages` and `/app` directories, it all clicked. I did make mistakes when choosing between `getStaticProps` and `getServerSideProps` for API calls, but you just have to decide based on your project’s needs. For debugging, I switched from the browser’s console to VS Code’s debugging tool—way more efficient. My advice? Stick to the official Next.js docs and the book *Next.js by Example*; they’re super helpful for beginners.
