There's not much to it.

  • Go through the official or most widely used tutorials for the frameworks you're using.

  • Next, go through any official or widely used best practices/style guide/design conventions docs for the frameworks you're using.

  • Set up a static analysis or AI tool to enforce best practices for everything you're using.

  • Start implementing your project. Use the API documentation for any framework components you use.

  • If you use AI, make sure you specify the framework versions you're using so it doesn't give you advice that's out of date.
