Environment Setup and Scaffolding

In order to build a web app, or any software for that matter, we must go through a few stages:

• Requirement gathering: This stage entails figuring out what we want to build.

• Designing: This includes designing the various components of the app, including the APIs and the databases.

• Scaffolding: This involves writing the boilerplate code.

• Development: This is the part where we start writing the business logic of the app.

There are other stages, like testing and releasing, but we won't focus on them here.
