Getting Started with Next.js 14

Next.js 14 introduces several exciting features that make building web applications easier and faster.

App Router

The App Router is the recommended way to build new Next.js applications. It uses React Server Components by default.

// app/page.tsx
export default function Home() {
  return <h1>Hello, Next.js 14!</h1>
}

Server Actions

Server Actions allow you to mutate data directly from your components:

async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
  'use server'
  const title = formData.get('title')
  // Save to database
}

Key Features

• Turbopack: Faster development builds
• Server Components: Better performance by default
• Streaming: Progressive rendering of UI
• Metadata API: Easy SEO configuration

This is just the beginning of what you can do with Next.js 14!
