You should read the official docs. They have a ton of information. https://nextjs.org/docs

Thanks, I definitely do when I get stuck, but I don't know what I need to read about until that happens.

you probably want to read the react essentials page. it explains how server components and client components work with the app router, if you plan on using that. https://nextjs.org/docs/getting-started/react-essentials

Definitely, if I knew that I needed it and when/how to use it, I'm not a professional developer so I don't know what I don't know.

I feel like docs are great for developers because they have the experience to translate the information. I have never had a problem finding a tutorial until now I bought 4 different Next tutorials and I could just create it with plain react and react-router

I'm not really sure I understand. Is there something from the docs that you don't understand or why can't you use them?

All of it, I'm not a professional developer, so I don't know where I use something and when I use it. The docs are great if I needed to know a specific thing, but whats the best practice to use what and when. what do I use how do I use it what context is it used in.

The docs are structured in that way thaat they first explain the basics - how does the framework work. Then they explain the most commonly used things like "how to fetch data" etc. and lastly they contain a collection of all the stuff that's been barely used. If I understand you correctly, you are looking for the first part, but you think the docs are the last part only. You should really have a look, especially at the page I linked

I know it is not a short read, but it does cover the information you need to get started

Thanks, I will delete this post because I won't get any suggestions? I'm glad you love the docs and that works for you. I don't even know why tutorials exists
