Code Less, Create More: AI-Driven App Development for React Devs.

Join us for a workshop designed for React developers eager to harness the power of AI to streamline their app development process. In "Code Less, Create More," you'll learn how to build applications using the Cursor IDE with the power of AI and minimal manual coding.

Explore how Cursor, an AI-enhanced code editor, revolutionizes your coding experience by seamlessly integrating with your existing workflow. Uncover its advanced capabilities: predicting your next edits, offering real-time code suggestions, and comprehending your project's architecture. This allows you to channel your energy into creativity and innovation rather than grappling with syntax and repetitive tasks.

We'll guide you through initializing a Next.js project, demonstrating how to utilize AI tools to efficiently craft dynamic, responsive applications. By the workshop's conclusion, you'll possess the skills to construct sophisticated software with reduced coding effort, empowering you to become a more productive and innovative developer.

Whether you're a seasoned React developer or new to AI-assisted coding, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and tools to elevate your development projects to the next level.

This workshop has been presented at React Day Berlin 2024, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.

FAQ

The workshop focuses on building production-ready Next.js applications using the Cursor AI editor, including creating a science fiction movie browsing application.

Maurice de Beyer, also known as the Problem Solver, is a freelance developer and instructor based in the Netherlands, currently looking for interesting work opportunities.

The main tools used are the Cursor IDE, a Visual Studio clone with AI capabilities, and Forcel V0, which helps in building complex UIs.

Participants will learn how to build applications using AI, generate code and designs using Cursor, and create database and ORM structures. They will also learn how to prompt AI effectively and review AI-generated code.

Participants need to have Node.js (version 18 or later), Git, and NPM installed. They also need to clone the repository and have a basic understanding of how to use these tools.

Cursor IDE is a code editor that enhances coding capabilities with AI, offering features like code prediction, documentation reading, and architecture understanding, making it a powerful tool for developers.

He describes AI as a junior developer that can handle repetitive tasks, allowing developers to focus on problem-solving and architecture, while noting that AI isn't always perfect and can make mistakes.

The primary programming language is JavaScript, and the framework used is Next.js, with React for building the application's front end.

AI-driven development reduces manual efforts, makes prototyping easier, increases productivity, and can potentially provide high-quality code, though it still requires developer oversight.

Video Summary and Transcription

Welcome to the workshop on production-ready Next.js applications using the Cursor AI editor. We'll build a science fiction movie browsing application and learn how to use AI in application development. The AI may have some issues, but we'll learn how to fix them and do code reviews with its help. The Cursor IDE, with its AI capabilities, offers predictions, documentation reading, and architectural suggestions. Cursor is an intermediary tool that allows you to use different language models. It provides additional UI capabilities and AI assistance. Cursor also has chat and composer tools for interactive coding. We'll use Cursor to create a landing page, add database integration, and implement different features. The workshop covers code review, refactoring, and AI's impact on programming. AI has limitations, but it has the potential to greatly impact the development process.

Frontend issues that affect your users are often triggered by backend problems. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to identify issues causing slow web pages and poor Core Web Vitals using tracing.
Then, try it for yourself by setting up Sentry in a ready-made Next.js project to discover performance issues including slow database queries in an interactive pair-programming session.
You’ll leave the workshop being able to:- Find backend issues that might be slowing down your frontend apps- Setup tracing with Sentry in a Next.js project- Debug and fix poor performance issues using tracing
This will be a live 2-hour event where you’ll have the opportunity to code along with us and ask us questions.

Routing in React 18 and Beyond

Top Content

Delba de Oliveira

Senior Developer Advocate @ Vercel

Routing in React 18 brings a native app-like user experience and allows applications to transition between different environments. React Router and Next.js have different approaches to routing, with React Router using component-based routing and Next.js using file system-based routing. React server components provide the primitives to address the disadvantages of multipage applications while maintaining the same user experience. Improving navigation and routing in React involves including loading UI, pre-rendering parts of the screen, and using server components for more performant experiences. Next.js and Remix are moving towards a converging solution by combining component-based routing with file system routing.
