Day 11 Hour 1-2: Introduction to Advanced Features

Overview of advanced features in web applications (user authentication, e-commerce)

In this session, we'll introduce some of the advanced features commonly found in modern web applications, focusing specifically on user authentication and e-commerce functionalities.

User authentication is a crucial aspect of many web applications. It allows for the identification and verification of users, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to certain parts of the application. Whether it's a social media platform, an email service, or a business application, user authentication is key to protecting user data and ensuring privacy.

E-commerce functionality, on the other hand, is the backbone of any online shopping platform. It involves a variety of features like product listings, shopping carts, payment processing, and order management. Understanding how to implement these features can open up a whole new world of possibilities, allowing you to create your own online storefronts or marketplaces.

Why these features are important and when to use them

Both user authentication and e-commerce features play vital roles in web applications. User authentication is important for maintaining user accounts, personalizing user experiences, and securing user data. It's used whenever you need to limit access to certain resources or functionalities to authenticated users.

E-commerce features, on the other hand, are essential for any business that wants to sell products or services online. They allow businesses to reach a wider audience, operate 24/7, and provide a convenient shopping experience for their customers.
