Programming Throwdown, Episode 101, React.js with Gieramo Rausch. Take it away, Jason. Hey, everybody. We are here with the

CEO of Versel and a co-creator of NextJS, Guillermo Rauch. How are you doing today?

Excellent. Thanks for having me. Cool. Thanks for being here. So I think this is super, super

interesting. One thing I've talked a lot about on the show is

for people who want to just getting into coding, try to build something where you can interact with it

and even better something where other people can interact with it. You know, that's the way,

you know, the hardest part about getting into coding. This is true if you're listening and you're a high school student, college student, or if you're, you know, the hardest part about getting into coding, this is true if you're

listening and you're a high school student, college student, or if you're, you know, coming to this

from another profession, is just keeping motivated, right? And the best way to stay motivated is to

have something you can show someone. And really, the best way to do that is with the web.

You know, it's, as someone who's rolled out,'s rolled out desktop apps, I can tell you it's a huge nightmare.

A little bit easier on mobile and not that much.

But on the web, you know, it's beautiful.

You can just, you know, reserve some space on AWS.

If you're a student, it's free.

You know, put your site there and other

people can interact with it right away. And so, you know, we're here with Guillaume Rausch, who is the

creator of Nextjs, which is a platform for basically making that whole process, you know,

more beautiful and streamlined. And so I think I think you know I think it'd be

great for the audience to just kind of get a bit of background on you know if

someone comes to you not knowing anything about how how front-end dev works how

kind of can you sort of wrap that up for them? Yeah. So that's a good start.
