WEBVTT 00:00.260 --> 00:02.090 So we've now reached the end, of course. 00:02.090 --> 00:03.860 And this is the end of course. 00:03.860 --> 00:04.400 Summary. 00:04.400 --> 00:10.670 So first of all, of course congratulations on making it to this stage and completing this course. 00:10.700 --> 00:11.660 It's a long course. 00:11.660 --> 00:16.430 It takes quite some time to create an application of this nature. 00:16.430 --> 00:18.560 And it involves many lines of code. 00:18.560 --> 00:21.710 And now we have a proof of concept e-commerce store. 00:21.710 --> 00:27.320 And many of the features that we've added to this kind of application are common across many other types 00:27.320 --> 00:28.610 of application as well. 00:28.610 --> 00:34.460 So if you're going to create something new, then you've kind of got a starting place and you can take 00:34.460 --> 00:40.610 a look at how we've done certain things here and use it in applications that you're creating elsewhere. 00:40.610 --> 00:46.820 And often I'm asked by students after completing a course like this is why didn't we include a certain 00:46.820 --> 00:47.810 feature? 00:47.810 --> 00:52.100 And the answer to that is always, well, we have to finish a course at some point. 00:52.100 --> 00:57.110 And an application, as I mentioned before, is never really complete. 00:57.110 --> 00:58.760 There's always things to add. 00:58.760 --> 01:04.270 And and when it comes to creating a proof of concept, this is not necessarily a complete out of the 01:04.300 --> 01:05.260 box application. 01:05.260 --> 01:10.990 And what we're doing here is not simply buying software off the shelf that we can then use for our own 01:10.990 --> 01:11.950 e-commerce stores. 01:11.980 --> 01:17.230 What we have is an application that we've spent time building, but the purpose of building the application 01:17.230 --> 01:23.230 was not to have a complete out of the box software, but it's to learn how to write the code and develop 01:23.260 --> 01:25.120 an application in some way. 01:25.120 --> 01:28.690 And an application always evolves over time. 01:28.690 --> 01:33.340 And I feel I've taken enough of your time getting to the place that we have got to. 01:33.370 --> 01:39.670 But your journey with this application doesn't need to end there, because you have the power to insert 01:39.670 --> 01:44.770 and add whatever feature you desire to this application. 01:44.770 --> 01:50.740 You're a software developer now, and as a software developer, you can add whatever feature you desire. 01:50.740 --> 01:57.930 So don't let this course ending stop you from doing whatever you need to do or want to do with this 01:57.930 --> 01:58.680 application. 01:58.680 --> 02:03.720 If you do add a particular feature, then please feel free to share it in the Q&A with other students 02:03.720 --> 02:05.160 that take the course. 02:05.190 --> 02:07.230 And where do you go next from this? 02:07.260 --> 02:08.760 Well, there's a couple of things you can try. 02:08.790 --> 02:09.750 You can improve this app. 02:09.750 --> 02:16.530 You can add things like an email confirmation system and possibly even an inventory system. 02:16.530 --> 02:21.960 If you change the price of a product, maybe you would like to reflect that in the user's basket when 02:21.960 --> 02:24.870 they go to checkout, rather than surprising them. 02:24.870 --> 02:29.760 When you send back the updated basket and they find the price has gone up, perhaps you can have an 02:29.880 --> 02:36.270 old price and a new price, or the updated price reflected in the basket and the review components of 02:36.270 --> 02:37.440 the application. 02:37.470 --> 02:42.750 Also, possibly you could send them an email confirmation when their payment has been received, and 02:42.750 --> 02:46.980 you can let them know that's the case and the delivery is on the way, that kind of thing. 02:46.980 --> 02:53.340 Maybe you can just create a whole new app entirely, and it can often be tricky to stare at your terminal 02:53.370 --> 02:55.450 thinking, what am I going to create? 02:55.450 --> 02:57.220 So obviously you need an idea. 02:57.250 --> 03:03.010 And one suggestion for an app is just to create a simple to do list kind of application using dotnet 03:03.010 --> 03:09.970 as the back end and of course the database to persist the data and using React and Material UI as the 03:09.970 --> 03:11.320 front end. 03:11.350 --> 03:17.800 I say this as a good place to start, because there's literally thousands of tutorials on how to create 03:17.830 --> 03:25.300 todo apps out there, so if you get stuck, you can always go and compare where you're at with other 03:25.300 --> 03:30.760 todo apps that have been created by others that are out there on the internet already. 03:30.760 --> 03:36.880 And of course, when it comes to skills and learning new skills, then the only way that you both maintain 03:36.880 --> 03:40.150 them and improve them is to practice. 03:40.180 --> 03:42.850 Nothing's permanent when it comes to learning new skills. 03:42.850 --> 03:48.190 Until you've practiced so many times that what you're doing is like speaking. 03:48.190 --> 03:55.020 Once you've done it often enough, then the language that we write our applications in becomes almost 03:55.020 --> 04:02.040 as easy to do as speaking a sentence in your native tongue, so it just takes practice. 04:02.040 --> 04:08.850 I appreciate it can be quite overwhelming when you first start learning something new, but that's only 04:08.850 --> 04:14.550 due to lack of practice, and after you practice, then it will become second nature. 04:14.550 --> 04:17.580 And of course you can also take other courses. 04:17.580 --> 04:20.460 I do have a few others here on Udemy. 04:20.460 --> 04:26.160 They are big courses where you start from nothing and build a full application similar in nature to 04:26.190 --> 04:27.000 this kind of course. 04:27.000 --> 04:31.890 So if you're not completely sick of my voice by this point, and after this many hours, there's every 04:31.890 --> 04:38.910 chance that you are then I also have other courses available on Udemy for you to peruse, and possibly 04:38.910 --> 04:42.330 you might want to try them as well, both in Angular and React and. 04:42.510 --> 04:49.530 Net and just to finish off, I just want to say thank you a great big thank you and wish you the very 04:49.530 --> 04:52.230 best for your future careers.
