The fastest way to understand Cordova is to run a tiny app and inspect what it creates. You do not need to learn every native build setting on day one. You need a working loop: create, edit, run, repeat.
Start from the command line
Install Cordova with npm, create a project and add the platform you want to test first. Android is usually the quickest first target because the toolchain is easy to automate once Android Studio is installed.
npm install -g cordova
cordova create hello com.example.hello Hello
cd hello
cordova platform add android
cordova run androidKnow the important folders
Your app source lives in www/. That is the part DedrisFramework components and templates are designed for. Native platform projects live under platforms/ and can usually be regenerated from project config.
The moment the default app runs, replace the starter screen with a small DedrisFramework component or template. Keeping the first change tiny makes debugging much easier.
Run the app, change one line of text in www/index.html, then run it again. That proves your local edit-build-test loop works.
What to do next
Once the app launches reliably, add a template, check navigation on a real phone and only then introduce native plugins. That order keeps the surface area small while you learn.
