It explains creating a 'get items' method in the item controller, initializing the application, and logging items. The tutorial then focuses on using the UI controller to populate a list with items, looping through items using template strings, and inserting generated HTML into the UI. It also introduces creating UI selectors for efficient code management and scalability. Finally, it hints at the next steps of adding meal items to the list.
