Jamstack proposes an architecture for creating flexible, secure, and performance-efficient web applications. This course follows a tutorial-based approach, through which you will learn how to build a complete Jamstack application with Next.js and Strapi.

This course will introduce you to Jamstack and how it differs from standard web applications. you will then learn about Next.js and how to create static websites. Along the way, you will create a Recipes application with a list of recipes available through TheMealDB API. You will also integrate Strapi as a headless CMS, enabling you to authenticate users and allow them to save their favorite recipes. You will conclude the course by working on a project where you will be using Strapi and Next.js to authenticate users and allow them to create, retrieve, update, and delete notes for themselves.

By the end of this course, you will have a thorough command of Strapi and Next.js to create flexible, secure, and performance-efficient web applications.

Pre-rendering is the process of generating the HTML of a page before it has to be loaded on the browser. 

Which statement is true about pre-rendering?

Consider the case of a web application with some static content such as "Contact Us" and "About" pages. Which type of pre-rendering is more suitable in this case?

Consider the case of a web application that displays the latest stock prices from an exchange. Which type of pre-rendering is more suitable in this case?

**(True or False)** Static generation can only be used for pages that don't use data from an external source.  

(True or False) Static generation can only be used for pages that don’t use data from an external source.

This is a user-defined function, so we can decide what is returned.

The `getStaticPaths()` function returns a list of all possible paths for that dynamic route so that the pages can be pre-rendered during build time.

This returns the `fallback` option, which can have one of the following three values: `true`, `false`, or `blocking`.

**(Select all that apply.)** What is the output of the `getStaticPaths()` function?

(Select all that apply.) What is the output of the <code>getStaticPaths()</code> function?

On the first request, a 404 page would be rendered and on every subsequent request for that page, the page generated on the first request is served as if it was pre-rendered during build time.


The first request will take a long time to process as the page is being rendered at the server. On every subsequent request for that page, the page generated on the first request will be served as if it was pre-rendered during build time.

Consider the case of a path that isn't returned by the `getStaticPaths` function. What would be the behavior for path access with the `fallback` option set to `true`? 

Consider the case of a path that isn’t returned by the <code>getStaticPaths</code> function. What would be the behavior for path access with the <code>fallback</code> option set to <code>true</code>?
