Im having a hard time learning Next.js, finding it very overwhelming and confusing mostly because i have no experience with anything backend/servers. i know react and javascript just fine but trying to figure out so many things at once basically just leaves me to copy pasting instead of being able to figure things out on my own. I guess to word it better im having a hard time walking through the steps because i dont even know what the steps are with so many new things thrown in at once

NextJS isnt that hard to learn if you already know react.

Create small goals instead of directly jumping to databases and all that.

Just do some basic app creation, routing and dynamic routing. NextJS docs are one of the best documentations out there. Make sure you read them often. There is even a NextJS learn site. Follow through with that if you are struggling with just the documentation for some reason. Make sure you check out the docs on Routing, Rendering and Data Fetching.
