You're going to learn how to set up Better Auth, how to create the server instance, how to implement all of the api endpoints, and then we're going to build a full authentication solution with sign in, sign up, and logout functionality. Better Auth is a relatively new authentication library that's quickly becoming one of the most popular ones and the standard for React and Next.js applications. It's fully open source, it supports all of the features that you would expect, and knowing how it works and how to use it is a very important skill that you should have as a developer!
