We're excited to announce the launch of a new course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube
channel that will give you an in-depth understanding of how to build a custom API using
Next.js and MongoDB.

This course was created by Hitesh Choudhary. He is an an expert in the field and has
extensive experience in developing, teaching, and sharing his knowledge in an engaging and
easy-to-understand manner.

About the Course

This course will provide a comprehensive guide on building an authentication system that
can register the user, login, create a secure cookie with a JWT Token, use email service,
verify the user's email, forget password, middleware route protection, and much more. It's a
project-based course where you learn by doing, and by the end of it, you'll have a fully
functioning authentication system built from scratch.

The course further explores how to integrate Appwrite, a secure end-to-end backend server
for Web, Mobile, and Flutter developers that makes it easy to build web and mobile
applications, into your Next.js application.
