Finally the backend server(application layer) passes required data/web-pages to React application which renders the data on web-page for the clients. It determines what data/web-pages a client needs and makes request to database(database layer) for fetching this informtaion. These requests go to the application server which is the logical layer. In a full-stack MERN application, the client layer(React application) which is accessible by the end users makes request for web pages. All application data is stored in this mongoDB database.Database layer runs the mongoDB server.This layer accepts client's requests and serves them by fetching appropriate data from database layer.This application server acts as the bridge of communication between client & database layer.This is the business logic layer which is an Express application on top of Node.js platform.On this layer, end users tries to access the feature of our application.Client layer will be developed using React which combinedly uses Javascript, HTML & CSS.These are views(webpages) which is visible to the client.MERN Stack applictaions follows a 3 layer architecture pattern which is based on a typical MVC model. ![]() You can learn more about the concepts you need to learn before starting MERN here. Good understanding of HTML/CSS concepts.LAMP Stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL & PHP).MEVN Stack (Angular replaced by Vue.js).MEAN Stack (MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS & Node).They may use languages other than Javascript. Here are 10 reasons why you should learn MERN stack. MongoDB as the database uses JSON(Javascript Object Notation) format to store and manage data which is standard nowadays for exchange of information in a full-stack application from client to server and vice-versa, and can be easily integrated in MERN Stack applications. You can create full stack applications, mobile applications using React native, desktop applications using Electron.js - All you need is JavaScript. Using Javascript for both front-end and back-end reduces the learning time and cost as you don't need to learn any other language for separate client and server side applications. Node.js hosts thousands of public/private packages via NPM to facilitate application development over multiple domains.Express.js framework is built on top of Node.js to facilitate web development.It is open-source, cross-platform which uses JavaScript(outside the browser) to create server side tools and applications.Node.js is the back-end layer which hosts the server created using JavaScript.It uses JavaScript on the frontend platforms like browser, mobile applications etc.It is fast, scalable and offers code reusability.It allows you to compose complex user interfaces from small and isolated, reusable pieces of code called components.React is declarative, efficient and flexible for building user interfaces.React is an open-source front-end JavaScript library designed by Facebook.You can use Model, View & Controller (MVC) pattern to create server-side applications.It uses Javascript on the server side to create fast and secure back-end applications.ExpressJS is open source, unopinionated, lightweight framework built on top of NodeJS.It is highly scalable and can be used to store large volumes of data.It is an open-source, NoSQL, document based database which stores data in the binary JSON format.MongoDB is the database layer for the full-stack application used to store and manage data.MERN stack laverages below frameworks/tools for creating full-stack applications:- 1. MERN is a technology stack used to develop a full-stack software application.Ī technology stack is basically a set of frameworks and tools which facilitate the development of an application. MongoDB, Express.js, React.js & Node.js What is MERN Stack ? This guide covers the what, why, and how, required to start the MERN stack development. MERN stack which is powered by Javascript, allows developers to create Full stack applications without the knowledge of any other programming language. It requires knowledge of different technologies. Full Stack web development is gaining traction in IT industry as it allows developers to create a full fledged application from creating a simple web page to making it live on the internet. ![]() ![]() What was your proudest moment so far at Twilio? Jeff’s Answer: Bring Dave McClure Into Mitch Kapor’s Office I’m pretty sure it’s still baked into our unit tests somewhere.” “It was the first emoji sent with Twilio via SMS during our testing. What is your favorite emoji? Jeff’s Answer: #2 – The Better Way: “We’re seeing customers start to integrate the mobile app experience and communications – so that you can click “Talk to Us” right from the app to initiate an IP call – and because you’re authenticated in the app – an agent can greet you by name, and ask you “How can I help with flight 1234 tomorrow?” It’s really cool stuff – because the result is so seamless, the communications almost disappears” are lost to the 150 year old communications network.” Click it and you’re out into your phone’s dialer – and all the context of who you are, what flight you’re looking at, etc. #1 – The 150 Year Old Way: “When you’re in your airline app, and you’re trying to change your flight but you can’t (at least I usually can’t for some horrible UX reason) – then you click on the “Contact Us” area of the app and you get a toll free phone number. ![]() The biggest impact of marrying software and communications will be how you can so thoroughly integrate the communications into the software experience” Example: A Tale of Two Flight Changes “Software will completely change communications in the coming years. How do you see communication changing within apps and products using new technologies whether it’s with Twilio products or other platforms? Jeff’s Answer: Software + Context = Different Way of Communicating For example, the industry calls phone numbers “DIDs” (Direct Inward Dial) – we’re like WTF we call them phone numbers.” “We just wear our own shoes as developers – and ask does this make sense?” adding “We also try to make sure we use words in our API and docs that are familiar to users of the technology, not those steeped in it. How do you manage developer onboarding? Jeff’s Answer: Write Code, Disregard Shenanigans It’s common to believe that building important new things require lots of staffing and strategic planning – but I think innovation requires experimentation, and a very small group of focused people are the real unit of progress in a company.” I think back to how much the three founders of Twilio accomplished in our first year with so much focus. “I think it’s the power of a small team of developers, like 2-3 people, to build something extraordinary. What do you believe in that others might find crazy? Jeff’s Answer: Small Teams Power Success The Internet of Bears: “ used to have to jump out of helicopters and tranquilize the poor animals to put a data collection collar on it.So these researchers instead fitted the bears with collars that, with very little power, and in areas w/ out good cell coverage – can transmit the data off the collar via SMS on 2G networks.” #InternetOfBears Via one phone call, Parkinson’s patients are able to test, monitor and treat their disease through an application built on Twilio.” Max Little developed a way to detect Parkinson’s disease through a simple voice recording. ![]() What Are Some Of The Most Creative Twilio Use Cases You’ve Seen? Jeff’s Answer: Diagnosing Disease, Tracking Bears Jeff talked about how he favors small focused teams over large groups, how he dealt with rejection in Twilio’s early years, how Mitch Kapor influenced his life, and how developers are saving lives using communication tools to diagnose Parkinson’s or save victims of human trafficking. That’s also only one of the gems from Jeff’s live chat. A group of scientists’ Twilio SMS powered bear tracking collars made the cut. Ryan Hoover wanted to know the most creative Twilio use cases Jeff had seen. When asked a tough question, a wise man once said, “Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.” Jeff Lawson was asked a tough question on Product Hunt’s Live Chat and his response was “the internet of bears.”

Super Bowl contendersĭetroit Lions (+2200): The Lions finished last season on a tear and they opened free agency by adding DBs Cam Sutton, Emmanuel Moseley, and CJ Gardner-Johnson. The Ravens also added Clemson LB Trenton Simpson to help shore up their declining defense. They should also get stud RB Breece Hall (ACL) back this year, it’s just a question of how much money they’ll have to commit to Rodgers.īaltimore Ravens (+1800): Lamar Jackson won his lengthy negotiations by becoming the highest-paid player in the league, and now he has some weapons to target on the outside with Odell Beckham Jr. New York Jets (+1600): The Jets have shifted from +2500 to +1400 to win it all with Aaron Rodgers the new starting QB.

Combat consists of all the standard D&D trappings: attacking with weapons, activating special abilities, slinging magic spells and quaffing potions to enhance skills. Depending on how complicated you want to make things, you could meticulously plan every character's every move and action, or just let the AI do some of the heavy lifting. Combat is turn-based, like the tabletop game, so you can pause and plan your moves before your characters execute them in real-time. As in previous Baldur's Gate games, you can always split up the party and position everyone to your liking before a big combat session begins.Īnd speaking of combat, it wasn't long before Astarion and Shadowheart found themselves facing down two small intellect devourers: buglike foes that serve the mind flayers. You can play the game from an isometric or closer third-person perspective, but the camera always keeps a respectful distance so that you can manage a whole party at once.Īfter recurring his first companion, a dark cleric named Shadowheart, Astarion journeyed through the wilderness, sometimes exploring on his own (he had an impressive Jump skill, letting him reach treasure in high places), sometimes with Shadowheart in tow. The first thing I noticed was that the game looks quite similar to other Larian Studios games, namely Divinity: Original Sin and its sequel. The demo began with Astarion, all by himself, in a wilderness area far from any bastions of civilization. Baldur's Gate III will use Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition: a modern, streamlined approach to the setting, which has resonated in a big way with tabletop players. The original Baldur's Gate games used the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules, which were becoming outdated even as the games debuted. For those who aren't D&D experts, there have been various rulesets over the years as the game has evolved. Perhaps the most exciting thing about Baldur's Gate III is that it represents the first time Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition rules will be available in a video game. (Image credit: Larian Studios) Baldur's Gate III gameplay This came into play numerous times as Astarion made choices during the game, and it seems likely that any other backstory will have similar repercussions. ![]() The devs created a high elf rogue named Astarion, whose backstory dictated that he was also a vampire in thrall to a vampire lord named Cazador. What's new this time around is that you can also choose one of five origin stories for your character. Skills include more specialized disciplines, such as Athletics, Persuasion and Stealth. Longtime D&D fans know the drill: attributes represent things like Strength (for melee attacks), Dexterity (for ranged attacks) and Charisma (for charming other characters). You'll choose your character's race, class, name, sex and moral alignment, then distribute attribute and skill points accordingly. The final game will have at least eight playable classes. ![]() You can also choose to be a fighter, a rogue, a wizard or a cleric - at least in this demo. There are 15 playable races and subraces, including haughty elves, reptilian githyanki, demonic tieflings and regular old humans, if you want to be extremely boring. While the Larian devs didn't spend much time on character creation, it looked like an extremely deep system. Longtime fans know that one of the best parts of any Baldur's Gate game is creating your perfect adventurer from scratch. They're offering pre-orders on four main packages.(Image credit: Larian Studios) Baldur's Gate III character creation No seriously, would someone please re-release Legend of Dragoon? If I can accomplish one single thing in the world of games, let it be this.īringing these amazing Baldur’s Gate titles back to console is a brilliant move by Skybound Games and Beamdog, and we're certainly thrilled about it. If only Legend of Dragoon got a makeover. We've seen classic Sega Genesis games released on iOS and Android, Links Awakening is getting a remake on Nintendo Switch, and even Final Fantasy VII is getting a whole new look on PS4. The all-star lineup of action adventure games is sure to hit that nostalgia bone for any old-school gamer, and it's a welcome surprise in a gaming landscape that is increasingly invigorating classic content onto new consoles. ![]() Reiterating a message can be frustrating for the speaker, so when the instructions aren't clear the listener should ask a closed clarifying question by saying what they understand and asking for confirmation on whether they got it right. Explaining a complex task can be difficult, so it is in the interest of both the speaker and the listener that the details of the task are entirely clear. The two main situations in which you can ask for clarification are: When you receive instructions that aren't clearĬlarifying questions are a good way to troubleshoot when you receive unclear instructions. Related: Types of Questions: Definitions and Examples When should you ask for clarification? Most of them have the form of when, why, where or how types of questions and encourage the speaker to openly expand their thoughts and ideas.Ĭlosed clarifying questions: They simply reiterate a part of the message and ask the speaker to confirm or deny that what the listener understood was indeed what the speaker was trying to express to their audience. Open clarifying questions: They ask the speaker to elaborate on a certain part of their message. There are two main types of clarifying questions: They can be used in any situation where someone is trying to communicate a message to an audience, such as interviews, presentations, discussions and other similar circumstances. They are instead used by the listener to get a clearer factual understanding of what the speaker wants to transmit. The speaker also benefits by being reassured that their audience is actively listening and genuinely interested in what they have to say.Ĭlarifying questions don't typically require new information from the speaker. By asking this type of question after receiving the message, the listener makes sure they properly understood the message and obtain important additional information. What are clarifying questions?Ĭlarifying questions are questions that the listener asks the speaker in an attempt to eliminate or prevent any misunderstanding, confusion or ambiguity. In this article, we discuss what clarifying questions are and when you should ask for clarifications, and we also provide tips and examples on how to ask for clarification. Regardless of your role within a team or organization, proper communication can have a direct impact on your efficiency.Īsking the right clarifying questions is a valuable skill, but it takes research and practice. Knowing how and when to ask clarifying questions can help you in many situations by helping you understand what someone is saying to you. ![]()
