Hello friends! The weekend is getting close, but I am still ready with a set of web developer news from last week. Although things have been slow this week, I still found some of the best stories for you all to enjoy! Have a great weekend 😃!


Next.js Conf

Vercel, the team behind Next.js, among other products, is back with their annual “Next.js Conf” conference. This year they have another stacked panel, everyone from “Guillermo Rauch”, the CEO of Vercel, to ThePrimegen and Theo3.gg, well-known figures in the content creation space around Next.js.

This year’s conference highlights are Next.js 14, and the Turbopack build-tool.


Next.js 14

The highlight of highlights at the Next.js conference this year is the announcement of Next.js 14. Some of the key features in Next.js 14 include:

Turbopack (Stable) - Next.js's underlying Rust-based compiler is now stable. In benchmarks, it improved local server startup time by up to 53% and code update speed with Fast Refresh by up to 94%.

Server Actions - Allows calling functions on the server directly from React components. This simplifies server-side interactions like submitting forms.

Partial Prerendering - A new optimization that sends a fast initial HTML response with static content, then streams in dynamic content. This combines the benefits of static generation and server-side rendering.

Faster Builds - Next.js 14 has an 80% smaller function footprint for basic apps, resulting in faster builds.

New Learn Course - Next.js released a free interactive course covering topics like authentication, databases, and more.
