Start working with eclipse and Ionic Framework

I recently started working with eclipse and I'm using phonegap, ionic framework and cordova. I'm new in this field so I need some help to work things out. I linked my "index.html" page the ionic css and every thing works fine- the header, buttons etc. But when i try to new stuff like menus and all sort of things I'm stuck. Also, I heard that there is an easier way to work with ionic framework- some sort of console, but I didn't quite understand.

Can someone help me to proceed? Thank you!

Ionic has a website with some tutorial videos

Also, they have a CLI (command line interface), like Phonegap/Cordova but with some extra features
