For the Movies Store application, I started out by following the textbook but ended up making changes along the way. I didn’t like the UI of the example product, so I ended up changing that significantly, and I added a few quality-of-life features including the ability to remove one item from the cart without clearing the entire thing. I also ended up removing the “home” page, as it was completely empty, and I redirected that to the movies page.
The textbook was relatively predictable; I found myself jumping around a couple times only to find that the feature I’d been working on was actually covered later on in the same chapter.
