SDF DevRel team member Carsten Jacobsen showed how to build a simple Hello World dapp based on a Soroban smart contract and Next.js through these steps:

1. Create the default Hello World smart contract using the Stellar CLI
2. Create TypeScript bindings (package) using the Stellar CLI
3. Create the default Next.js using the npx create-next-app command
4. Add and link the TypeScript binding package to the Next.js project
5. Create a simple frontend with a form to submit a string
6. Import the package in the Next.js page, and setup a client
7. Create submit-function to send form value to the smart contract
8. Use useState to store the smart contract response and display it
