Three.js and Next.js are revolutionizing how we build interactive web experiences, especially for industrial and multipurpose applications. This book unlocks their combined power, showing you how to create immersive 3D visualizations and dynamic web solutions that drive efficiency and innovation in various sectors.
Beginning with the evolution and capabilities of 3D web development, this book covers the foundational tools, setting up your environment for Three.js, Next.js, AWS Amplify, Storybook, and Tailwind CSS. It then explores Three.js fundamentals, covering geometries, materials, lighting, cameras, textures, user interactions, and animations to create dynamic 3D scenes. The book then seamlessly integrates Three.js with Next.js, teaching data management, state handling, and advanced interaction patterns. Crucially, you will learn vital optimization techniques and leverage AWS Amplify for secure hosting, user authentication, data storage, and real-time functionalities. The final sections guide you in establishing a consistent UI design system with Storybook, culminating in a complete, practical application.
Upon completing this book, you will possess a strong command of cutting-edge web and 3D technologies, enabling you to confidently design, build, and deploy sophisticated industrial and multipurpose web applications with immersive 3D experiences.

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
This book is for aspiring front-end developers, full-stack developers, and 3D web developers with foundational knowledge in JavaScript and React. While we will cover 3D essentials, a basic understanding will certainly aid your journey into building sophisticated industrial and multipurpose applications.
Andrei Tazetdinov is a senior engineer with 19 years of cross-platform development experience, blending applied mathematics with modern web technologies. His journey spans from low-level algorithmic optimization to architecting high-performance React applications, currently shaping mobile monitoring solutions at Dynatrace's Mobile Agent team.
A self-proclaimed React geek, Andrei specializes in bridging mathematical rigor with practical engineering—whether optimizing React Native performance, troubleshooting rendering pipelines, or teaching developers how to measure what matters. His career reflects a constant tension between precision and pragmatism: mathematical foundations applied to real-world systems, theoretical concepts hardened in production environments.
When not instrumenting mobile agents or dissecting virtual DOM implementations, he contributes to open-source projects and mentors developers in performance-conscious UI architecture. This book distills his two decades of lessons into actionable insights for building dimensional web experiences that perform as brilliantly as they impress.
