· Specific product page
· Shopping cart
What will you be learning in this course?
· How to setup Controllers, Models, Migrations & Routes
· Setup database seeders
· Storing images correctly through the storage
· Building the frontend from an existing repository
· Making our pages dynamic
· Saving products into a session
· Deleting products from a session
What will we not be doing?
Udemy courses can be a maximum of 2-hours, so I had to cut some parts out of this tutorial. We won’t be creating the following:
· Authentication
· A payment system
· A total amount overview
Working on local projects is awesome when you are a beginner. But what comes after? We will be using a cloud managed hosting platform called Cloudways to host our project simply in a couple steps, into the cloud!

2 Common errors when deploying to the Cloud
Whether you like it or not, errors will happen when your either programming or deploying code to the Cloud. Over the years, I have used the cloud quite a lot and there are two errors that keep occurring every once in a while, when I deploy a Laravel project. I quickly want to show it before we continue on.
