3. Blade Templating Engine
Blade Syntax: Get familiar with Blade directives (@if, @foreach, etc.).
Work with Blade syntax for variables, loops (@foreach, @for), and
conditional statements (@if, @elseif, @else). Utilize Blade's template

7. Database Migrations and Seeders
Migrations: Create and modify database tables using migration files.
Running Migrations: Execute php artisan migrate to apply
migrations.
Seeders: Populate your database with initial data using seeders (php
artisan db:seed).
Factories: Use model factories to generate fake data for testing.
8. Validation and Form Requests
Form Validation: Implement server-side validation using Laravel’s

Amazon S3.
Retrieving Files: Serve uploaded files securely to users.
11. Building APIs with Laravel
RESTful API Design: Structure your APIs following REST principles.
API Routes: Define routes specifically for API endpoints.
JSON Responses: Return data in JSON format for API consumers.
