Summary

We covered a lot in this chapter. You learned what NativeScript is and what makes NativeScript unique among all the different JavaScript mobile development systems. You also learned how to install NativeScript and explored a large number of different command-line parameters you will use. And finally, you actually created and ran a new project.

Now you have the tools you need installed, and most importantly, we now have a running application. Let's dive into what makes the whole project tick. We will explore all the different files and folders for your project and gain an understanding of how each file is used, and finally, we will enhance the default application in Chapter 2, The Project Structure.
