Getting set up with Firebase

The first thing we want to do is set up our Firebase account. 

Please keep in mind that the user interface for Firebase (as with most websites) does change periodically, so I won't be showing you screenshots for the signup process. If you run into any problems with the setup process, you can consult the documentation. Here's the steps:

1. Go to https://firebase.google.com.
2. If you don't already have a Google account, you'll need to create one and then access the Console.
3. Create a new project called restaurant-database.
4. You can choose to enable Google Analytics for the project; it's up to you.
5. On the Project Overview page, we're going to use the </> button to access the setup instructions for a web app.
6. On the next screen, create an app nickname (you can use restaurant-database again) and you won't need to set up Firebase Hosting.
7. The next screen will present you with code that contains your Firebase configuration...
