Should I use Tutorials?
Context:
I only have knowledge with html, css, go, small amount of sql, and js, so I haven't really worked with react before. My end goal is making a web app that allows people in my college to visualize what classes they need to take to get to a certain class, and I decided to go with CT3A
Question:
Are there any resources that you could recommend that can get me up to speed with Next.js + React + Resources quickly? Furthermore, because of how unacquainted with the TS world I am are there any tutorials I should use?

Just working with React and Next
I htink I'd need at least react + next + prisma for DB
Prisma is quite straight forward
react + next still feels somewhat intimidating
cuz I know of backend concepts and I've done some in go but I am just learning react, and idk if its like I need to learn
react -> next, next ->react, or something elsenext is built on top of react
so learn react first

I would say dont learn typescript I quit so many times learning typescript theos advice on just using .ts, .tsx file and using javascript works really great. Only add types where typescript will complain
You should still learn TypeScript
Whether or not you like it, types are going to become used more when developing web apps

I think a beginner should try to learn TypeScript.
Throw yourself at it, it's normal to get frustrated and not understand everything. I personally don't understand TypeScript in its entirety, but exposing yourself to it as early as you can is a good thing to do.
Plus the knowledge you get from having a solid understanding of JS and TS will allow you to transfer to other languages more easily.
isnt typescript basically like static typing in other languages but more shit?
uhh, I wouldn't call it shit. It's amazing for what it is.
Main difference is that the types you define in TypeScript are not available during runtime.
It's checked during compile
I'm saying compared to other language's type systems
Just comparing it... maybe? I think the type-checking in TypeScript is really good.
some academic should do an analysis based on this
