React

In this post, I share how I used Django, Django REST Framework (DRF), and Next.js (React) to build a full-featured inventory management system. After completing the ALX Backend Development track, I created a RESTful API with role-based access, real-time stock tracking, and low-stock alerts. I then built a responsive frontend dashboard using Next.js to bring the system to life. This post covers key features, how the frontend and backend communicate, and lessons learned from deploying a production-grade app.

Frontend technologies are the essential building blocks of modern web applications, serving as the foundation for creating user interfaces and enabling interactive experiences. They are what users see and interact with, distinguishing them from backend technologies and DevOps, which handle behind-the-scenes processes like data delivery and speed. These technologies work in concert to deliver visually appealing and responsive web pages that engage users and help achieve business goals.
