Full Stack Developer
The term full-stack means developers who are comfortable working with both back-end and front-end technologies.
To be more specific, it means that the developer can work with databases, Back end lannguages, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and everything in between, also, venturing as far as converting Photoshop designs to front-end code.
A full-stack developer doesn’t need to master all of the areas and technologies he needs to work it, because that just makes it nearly impossible, he just needs to be comfortable working with those technologies, and that’s a lot too.
Full-stack die-hards would consider a full-stack developer to have specialized knowledge in all stages of software development. Thus, a full-stack developer would be proficient, if not fluent, in:
- Server, network, and hosting environment
- Relational and nonrelational databases
- How to interact with APIs and the external world
- User interface and user experience
- Quality assurance
- Security concerns throughout the program
- Understanding customer and business needs
