What is full stack development

Full stack development: It refers to the development of both front end(client side) and back end(server side) portions of the web applications.

Full stack web Developers: Full stack web developers have the ability to design complete web applications and websites. They work on the frontend, backend, and database and debugging of web applications or websites.

Technology related to full stack development:

Front end: It is the visible part of the website or web application that is responsible for user experience. The user directly interacts with the front-end portion of the web application or website.

Front-end Languages: The front-end portion is built by using some languages which are discussed below:

  1)HTML: HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is used to design the front-end portion of web pages using a markup language. HTML is the combination of Hypertext and Markup language. Hypertext defines the link between web pages. The markup language is used to define the text documentation within the tag which defines the structure of web pages.

 2)CSS: Cascading Style Sheets, fondly referred to as CSS, is a simply designed language intended to simplify the process of making web pages presentable. CSS allows you to apply styles to web pages. More importantly, CSS enables you to do this independently of the HTML that makes up each web page.

  3)JavaScript: JavaScript is a famous scripting language used to create the magic on the sites to make the site interactive for the user. It is used to enhance the functionality of a website to run cool games and web-based software.

Front End Frameworks and Libraries:

 1)AngularJS: AngularJs is a JavaScript open-source front-end framework that is mainly used to develop single-page web applications(SPAs). It is a continuously growing and expanding framework which provides better ways for developing web applications. It changes the static HTML to dynamic HTML. It is an open-source project which can be freely used and changed by anyone. It extends HTML attributes with Directives, and data is bound with HTML.

  2)React.js: React is a declarative, efficient, and flexible JavaScript library for building user interfaces. ReactJS is an open-source, component-based front-end library responsible only for the view layer of the application. It is maintained by Facebook.

 3)Bootstrap: Bootstrap is a free and open-source tool collection for creating responsive websites and web applications. It is the most popular HTML, CSS, and JavaScript framework for developing responsive, mobile-first websites.

Other Important Points:

1)Work with text editors to use shortcuts and their facilities i.e. Visual Studio, Atom, Sublime, etc.

2)Make UI responsible using a grid system.

3)Git and git commands like init, add, commit, etc for version control and to work with the team.

4)Other tools like npm & yarn package managers, sass CSS pre-processor, browser DevTools i.e. chrome dev tools

Back end: It refers to the server-side development of a web application or website with a primary focus on how the website works. It is responsible for managing the database through queries and APIs by client-side commands. This type of website mainly consists of three parts front end, back end, and database.

The back-end portion is built by using some libraries, frameworks, and languages which are discussed below:

1)PHP: PHP is a server-side scripting language designed specifically for web development. Since PHP code is executed on the server side so it is called a server-side scripting language.

2)C++ It is a general-purpose programming language and is widely used nowadays for competitive programming. It is also used as backend language.

3)Java: Java is one of the most popular and widely used programming languages and platforms. It is highly scalable. Java components are easily available.

4)Python: Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems more efficiently.

5)JavaScript: Javascript can be used as both (front end and back end) programming language.
