Stack Advice

1. Create a New Page in WordPress: Go to Pages > Add New.
2. Use the HTML as a Guide: Copy and paste the relevant HTML sections from your template into the WordPress editor. Be aware, styling might not translate perfectly, and you'll need to remove any WordPress-specific code from the HTML.
3. Style with Elementor: Since you're familiar with Elementor, you can use it to style the page elements and make them visually match the HTML template as closely as possible.

This is a quicker solution, but you might lose some functionalities or have some styling inconsistencies.

if you are already expert on technologies you mentioned and know exactly how to work with them you might see investition to flutter as burden. Otherwise: Just go on with flutter & flame and see if it fullfills your requirements and could fit to your exact requirements.

Generally, flutter is already solid, and usable in context you mentioned. There's also plenty of resources to test if it would be ok to you before investing a lot. Just pick a demo project, get it running, and see results.

If you decide to invest you can take a working seed project generated to you

https://cli.vgv.dev/docs/templates/flame_game

Note: Flutter + Flame expect you to learn dart - it's easy, as the language is close to js / c / .. so: algol style syntax - it also expects you to understand reactive ui's - well: concept is insipired by React, so no suprises here, except that the whole concept needs some discipline.

Still to mention: For 3d games you still should see unity as solid option. And, as also with react native, you would find integration to flutter possible and supported by 3rd parties. Don't expect this to work always out of the box as a dream, but see it as a doable thing if you need to step to this road.

As an inspiration I give you idea what kind of extensions Flutter offers, if you decide to invest on it.. This is more fun thing, but as a junior developer learning stuff and doing things out of interest this might be something to you.

Without knowing more details about what kind of gameplay elements you're looking to feature in your application, it's a bit tricky to offer a transparent answer. I would feel more comfortable making my decision once I flesh out what I need the UI to do, (which will depend on how much you have drafted out)

If you go down the flutter route, you'll need to be prepared to learn about flutter's state management system more found here. On top of that, if you're used to working with tree diagrams and archiectures, you might feel quite at home as you go about building the UI. If you're familiar with design patterns, the typical AppState that's offered is not the same as the standard state design. All in all, It's a very flexible framework, so it can be easy to get distracted seeing all the different avenues you can take to the myriad of problems you'll come to face (in this case, building the foundation and/or an overhaul of your game). If you do end up going with Flutter, I would recommend sticking with Provider, Bloc, or standard AppState to get the hang of things.

Overall, I think I can offer one more damning question to ask yourself that I think might help establish a sense of direction:

How much of the gameplay happens in the UI? - E.g, incremental games like cookie clicker take place "in the UI" itself If there's a fair amount of UI changes and moving parts to what you have planned, I think flutter's a pretty good choice. Just keep in mind that the more complex the project, the less you may be able to lean on flutter's innate speed and functionality.

• If you for whatever reason develop during periods of time in which you lack internet connectivity, I would stay away from flutter because you need to be able to run dart pub get whenever you want to compile your project (if memory serves)

Hello! For your Node.js/Express.js project, it is recommended to use NYC as the code coverage tool. Make sure you configure NYC in package.json, for example:

"nyc": { "reporter": ["text", "html"], "include": ["backend//*.js"], "exclude": ["test//*.js"], "all": true } Then run the test through the command:

nyc mocha path/to/your/test/*/.js Make sure your test cases cover all API endpoints so that the coverage can be accurately reflected.

In addition, for node.js projects, I have a very useful suggestion, that is, before the project starts, you can use a development environment management tool like servbay to perform environment deployment, environment testing, etc., which greatly improves our efficiency

use SonarCube, that's what i think can help u with code coverage

Just before I go on, one thing to clarify: Node.js is environment, and Django is a framework, that runs in the Python environment. So if you think between those, you can think between Node.js+TypeScript vs. Python+Django.

Answering your question - if you're 15, go on with whatever gives you most fun. You'll catch the core understanding of programming that you can use later on to learn any language or library. And, trust me, it's impossible to tell what will be the hype in a few years. Two years ago everyone would say that Python is not for "business" software development. Now, 1/3 vacancies is about Python (LLMs - thank you :D ).

If any skill is more useful that other - it's the flexibility, making it easy for you to switch quite shortly from Node.js to Python, from NestJS to Django, or work simultaneously in TypeScript and OOP Python. It's just languages. Ideas behind those languages, architecture thinking - that's way more important.

Good luck :)

Well, the fact is: it's not so important the language (Java, Ruby, Python, JavaScript) or the framework (Quarkus, Rails, Django, React) you choose. The important thing is that you master the principles behind computer programming, such as Web Development, Object Oriented and Functional Programming.

There are languages that, better than others, allows you to learn. Java, Kotlin or C# are examples. Because they are generic: they are Object Oriented, they give you Functional and all other patterns that a modern language must have.

About the frameworks, I would recommend one that embodies modern way of building Enterprise Architectures, such as: Cloud Native, Microservices, Event Driven Communication (Quarkus is one).

When I make interviews to select candidates to join our teams, these above are the things I consider most.

Good luck, and enjoy coding. Always.

My advice: Next.js, PostgreSQL (supabase). Next.js can handle API routes natively, which eliminates the need for Express.js. You can define your own backend logic, such as handling database interactions (CRUD operations) through these routes. For UI/UX you could make use of Nyxbui + Aceternity (based on shadcn, framer-motion, and some other amazing frameworks/libs/modules). But only combine nyxbui & aceternity if you feel confident with very advanced frontend logic, otherwise just use the basic Shadcn. Do not forget to make good/secure RLS policies and take care how you are handling the caching for your routes when using next.js.

I would use Framework7 React for my frontend and Supabase to store the data. Framework7 is mobile friendly, easy to use, and has tons of prebuilt features and components. Supabase is also easy to setup, has a free tier which allows a decent amount of data storage. And above all; it's API is super easy.

Your tech stack is solid for building a real-time messaging project.

React and React Native are excellent choices for the frontend, especially if you want to have both web and mobile versions of your application share code.

ExpressJS is an unopinionated framework that affords you the flexibility to use it's features at your term, which is a good start. However, I would recommend you explore Sails.js as well. Sails.js is built on top of Express.js and it provides additional features out of the box, especially the Websocket integration that your project requires.

Don't forget to set up Graphql codegen, this would improve your dev experience (Add Typescript, if you can too).

I don't know much about databases but you might want to consider using NO-SQL. I used Firebase real-time db and aws dynamo db on a few of my personal projects and I love they're easy to work with and offer more flexibility for a chat application.

I built a very similar application with real-time chatting, and I used a very similar stack to yours (MySQL instead of Postgre). The stack that you chose is very good for what you want to make (or have already made since I am 2 weeks late).

I would recommend Ollama, it lets you run a local LLM, which can rewrite the questions. I would test carefully, and review anything generated, as models can hallucinate.

modelfile='''
FROM llama2
SYSTEM Rewrite any exam questions provided to ask the same thing with the same information, but in a slightly different format to thwart cheating.
'''

ollama.create(model='questionrewriter', modelfile=modelfile)
res = ollama.generate(model='llama2', prompt='''A 27-year-old woman comes to the office for counseling prior to conception. She states that a friend recently delivered a newborn with a neural tube defect and she wants to decrease her risk for having a child with this condition.

It is most appropriate to recommend that this patient begin supplementation with a vitamin that is a cofactor in which of the following processes?

Yes, use local LLMs. No need for Tensorflow (to train something custom). You will use the HuggingFace transformers library for inferencing. You're dealing with sensitive educational data so best to not send it over servers via APIs. Unless you're experienced in security, but even then your institution will probably not allow it.

You can use LM Studio to serve a model locally and test different versions to suit your needs. I just discovered another tool that's in early development that can help you parse the documents (exams) to output a different file per student. It's called AutoNL: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1b3xfbc/small_benchmark_gpt4_vs_opencodeinterpreter_67b/ <--- see this thread for a benchmark of a local model against GPT-4.

Power BI is an amazing tool. I have been using it since very long

Hi,

I am the owner of my actual company, we are dealing in architectural design and software development. As the owner as I have many years of experience in coding cost control management and business management, I can understand quite well your request.

There are some things which will not help you in your business and other that will help you.

On my opinion Tableau, PowerBI or Qilk will not make huge difference to you. They are all good, and very powerful, you can find good comparison sites for choosing any of them. just search google with "Tableau vs PowerBi" and it will give you sites of people having written very good analysis and comparison for each of them. i highky recommend you do this way

But, if you wish to see deeper in your business, I can recommend you other things, that many software sellers won`t tell you.

In my life, I generally coded the softwares (since 2002) that would do the same thing as them. The first time I did it, was, when I was employee in a construction company. It was for its oil and gas project. My softwares were free for ever.

The things about these softwares are not in the software. I can tell it, because after coding the softwares I was assigned for managing them. The problem was never on the software side. But always personnel behavious was the problem.

I learned to resolve personel problem by learning/ having a course of ISO 9000.

Of course I am a motivational talker, and this helped me. people were enthusiastic to apply ISO 9000 and use the software because I gave the motivational talk.

So to be successful with the software you need human behavioral things next to it.

No matter what you choose, if you see these problems happening (personnel resistance, or refusing, or slowing or blaming the software for the mistakes etc) just remember my advice, it will be a great help to you.

Also if you do not wish to loose money, try first the opensource alternatives to these software. I have many writings about software business and technical stuff about business. I shared my experiences:

I shared with you, one of my blog about your question. Hope it helps:

MongoDB good for you.

I would say try to use MongoDB or Cassandra except RethinkDB. I have used this DB in two of my projects it has less support and community and fewer queries to do data operations.

For developing an application like Zomato or Foodpanda, a robust tech stack is crucial. Given your expertise in Java and Angular, a recommended stack would be using Java for the backend and Angular for the frontend. This combination is powerful for building scalable, secure, and dynamic web applications. Java provides a strong backend foundation with its reliability and performance, while Angular offers a comprehensive frontend framework for creating interactive user interfaces. This stack ensures a seamless integration between the frontend and backend components of your application, making it an ideal choice for your project.

For developing an application like Zomato or Foodpanda, considering your expertise in Java and Angular, the recommended stack would be:

Web Microservices architecture for scalability and flexibility. Angular for the frontend framework. Amazon Web Services (AWS) for cloud services due to its robust features and scalability. For the database, a combination of SQL for structured data and NoSQL for unstructured data can be beneficial.

If you opt for microservices, the recommended languages would be Java for backend services due to your expertise, along with other languages like Python or Node.js for specific microservices based on their strengths and requirements. This approach can leverage the strengths of different languages for specific functionalities within your microservices architecture.
