Hello New Developers!
ESO UI is a great place to get started making your first Addon, they have a great Wiki already setup.

This App is a base framework that I use when I develop my addons.
I'm fairly new myself, everything I do might not be best practices, but hey, we're all learning


Feel free to download this Sample App, or clone the repo
https://github.com/williamrussellajb/SampleApp.git.


So please, install this addon check out the basic features
and then dive into the code and start tweaking it!
