Creating a modern, full-stack web application has never been more exciting, thanks to the wide array of powerful tools available to developers today. If you’ve ever thought about building a dynamic, feature-rich app but weren’t sure where to start, this comprehensive guide is for you.

We just published a course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel that will teach you how to build and deploy a modern dating application from scratch. This course uses cutting-edge tools and frameworks, including Next.js, Prisma, NextAuth, Cloudinary, and Pusher, to create a professional-grade app with features like authentication, real-time messaging, media uploads, and more. By the end of the course, you’ll also learn how to deploy your app to Vercel, ensuring it’s production-ready and accessible to users. Eric Tech developed this course. Eric is a software developer at Microsoft.
