When you enable My Domain, references and links to Lightning resources are in the format https://.lightning.force.com.Check here -How To Set Up Domain Name.Also for more details why do you want to that,check here for release notes.
Upload BootStrap Static Resource for styling purposes
Download Bootstrap to give some styling from http://getbootstrap.com/.Upload BootStrap css to static resource.We would refer the path of this css later in our code .
Using Developer Console
For now We are making sure that We use Developer Console for our lightning Components development and tutorials.If not worked yet on it,Check here for the developer console tutorials.
We would also suggest you to go through this awesome Trailhead module - Lightning Components Basics so that you are familiar with Lightning Components.
