:exclamation: **Note:** There is no difference how you name or structure your views. You could place all your templates in a top-level `views` directory without having a nested folder structure, if that makes things easier for you. Just don't forget to update `extends ../layout` and corresponding `res.render()` method in controllers. For smaller apps, I find having a flat folder structure to be easier to work with. :exclamation: **Note:** There is no preference how you name or structure your views.

Express will automatically generate minified **styles.css** whenever there are changes in LESS file. This is done via [less-middleware](https://github.com/emberfeather/less.js-middleware) node.js library. :bangbang: **Note:** Although your main template - **layout.jade** only knows about `/css/styles.css` file, you should be editing **styles.less** stylesheet.

- Need to find a specific object inside an Array? Use [_.findWhere](http://underscorejs.org/#findWhere) function from Underscore.js. For example, this is how you would retrieve a Twitter token from database: `var token = _.findWhere(req.user.tokens, { kind: 'twitter' });`, where `req.user.tokens` is an Array, and a second parameter is an object with a given key/value. - Need to find a specific object inside an Array?
