Next.js 13 Car Showcase

I recently built a Next.js 13 application as a learning project that showcases a collection of cars. I used a variety of modern technologies, including:

• Next.js 13
• React
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS

By working on this project, I learned how to build and deploy modern web applications with Next.js 13. I also learned about the new features in Next.js 13, such as server components, incremental static regeneration, and middleware.

In addition to Next.js 13, I also learned about React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds type safety to your code. Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that allows you to build custom components quickly and easily.

APIs Used

• Car Data and Images: I fetched car data and images from the Imagin Studio Car Image API.

• Car Details: For detailed car information, I used the Cars by API Ninjas API.

In addition to the above, I also learned about software development best practices and deployment. I learned how to write clean, maintainable, and scalable code. I also learned how to use version control systems such as Git and how to test my code. Finally, I learned how to deploy my web application to production.

Conclusion

This project was a great learning experience for me. I learned a lot about Next.js 13, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and software development best practices. I also learned how to deploy web applications to production.

I am excited to share this project with others and hope that it can help them learn about these technologies as well.
