By the end of this list, you should be in a place where you are more than ready to start work on the car. A lot of this stuff you might have already done or don't need to do if you've dabbled in software development before, but if you're fresh out of cornerstone you might need to go step by step. Go through at your own discretion, but each step is pretty important.
