Future project ideas

1. "Hello World" Module: Create a simple module that adds a new page displaying a "Hello World" message. This project will reinforce your understanding of module creation, routing, and basic controller actions.

2. Customer Greeting Block: Implement a block on the homepage that greets customers by name if they're logged in, or shows a generic greeting if they're not. This will give you practice with block creation, template rendering, and basic logic.

3. Date and Time Display: Build a module that shows the current date and time in the footer of every page. This will help you practice creating blocks, using layouts, and implementing PHP within Magento templates.

4. Custom Product Tab: Develop a module that adds a new tab to the product detail page, displaying some custom information. This will help you understand how to extend existing Magento functionality and work with layouts.

5. Simple Configuration Field: Create a module that adds a basic field to the Magento admin configuration. This will introduce you to system configuration in Magento and how to access these values in your code.

Each of these projects will help you apply what you've learned in the course while also introducing you to new aspects of Magento 2 development. Remember to break down each task into smaller, manageable steps, and don't hesitate to refer back to the course material as you work.
