1. Build your first Refine app

What are we going to build?​

Since Refine is a meta framework designed for building all types of CRUD apps, such as internal tools, admin panels, B2B apps, and dashboards, this tutorial will focus on showcasing how Refine simplifies the development process of creating a minimal yet fully functional admin panel app.

You will be guided through the process of building a CRUD app, including authentication, CRUD operation components, and fully functional pages, all built using the Refine framework
