+<h3 id="start-your-own-app">Start your own app</h3>
+<p>Although you’re welcome to use Groceries as the basis of your own app, if you want to start a new app from scratch, the NativeScript CLI provides a number of built-in starting points. For example, you can start a new “hello world” app by running the <code>tns create</code> command:</p>
+<pre><code>tns create my-app-name --template https://github.com/NativeScript/template-hello-world-ng
+</code></pre><p>If you want to start from a slightly more complete starting point, the <code>tns create</code> command also has a <code>--template</code> option that lets you start from a variety of pre-built templates. For instance, the following command creates a NativeScript project with tab navigation already setup:</p>
+<pre><code>tns create MyNextGreatApp --template tns-template-tab-navigation
+</code></pre><blockquote>
+<p><strong>TIP</strong>: A number of other templates are available to use with the <code>--template</code> option, including TypeScript templates and more. Refer to <a href="https://www.tjvantoll.com/2016/02/22/creating-nativescript-templates/">the full list of official templates</a> at any time.</p>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Regardless of which template you choose to start from, once you have your app up and running, let’s look at some of the resources you can use as you develop.</p>
+<h3 id="bookmark-nativescript-learning-resources">Bookmark NativeScript learning resources</h3>
+<p>There are a variety of NativeScript learning materials that go above and beyond what was offered in this tutorial. You may wish to refer to any of the following as you take your app from a prototype to the app stores:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>The NativeScript team provides a series of <a href="https://www.nativescript.org/app-samples-with-code">real-world app samples</a> that are all open source on GitHub. These samples are great to reference as you’re developing your application.</li>
