What is the best starter project?

Starting with "Development with GCC and Eclipse", I've gotten "blinky" to run on my BLE400 with an nrf58122 using Eclipse Oxygen. I think I'm using SDK12.3 . I started with the "Blinky" project Vidar Berg included in the tutorial. I have quite a few questions.

  1. the example project has a lot of what I think are virtual folders. How are these created? How do I add or remove items from them?

  2. are the items in the virtual folders relative links to the libraries and files in the SDK version the project is embedded in?

  3. Are the "Packs" involved in this? The Packs loaded by Eclipse are SDK 11. "blinky" resides in SDK12.3. Which am I using?

  4. There are no Eclipse projects for the other examples, some don't even have Makefiles. How do I create a project from scratch, how do I figure out what libraries an example will need?

Now that I can compile and execute code on the development board, I want to use the radio. What is the simplest next step? Is there an example where the device shows up on my iPhone? Something basic like that. Or maybe thats not that basic.

I'm trying to learn many things at once here, I don't know Bluetooth or Eclipse, cross-gcc, Segger... It's a lot and it's easy to get lost.
