It helps me to think of full-stack as a restaurant: Front-end --> The menu that the client sees with your food options (User-interface) Back-end --> The waiter taking requests from the customer (client) to send to the kitchen (database) Database --> The kitchen where the chefs provide what the waiter needs Eventually, the kitchen (database) gives the food (data) to the waiter (server), who responds to the customer (client) with their desired food.
Full stack development I think is the most fun out of all three paths. But without doubt is the hardest. So much to learn. But so much to gain over the longer term. 🤓
Important note here is that lot's of people think that it is cool to be a full stack developer because you will get more money but it's not true - Frontend positions are paid the same as full stack - As a full stack you need to work on both frontend and backend which slows your feature progress twice - All full stack devs that I saw in last 10 years were either lacking deep knowledge in frontend or backend - In all good companies roles of backend and frontend developers are splitted
In terms of "Full Stack" development, I wish there was a single simplified package that handles both front end and back end. It seems like most of this work currently required understanding for at least a dozen different technologies & software packages.
Simple explanation and straight to the point
I like the short videos and the long videos. This one was useful. Thank you!
Thanks for this! Like my former boss said you really have to double check or google terms like 'fullstack developer' and you might already be doing it. you just don't know the other terms for it.
short and crisp. provides a lot of good information,
Love short vids, thx!
Fantastic video! Quick question: I’m a collaborative artist and I’m currently looking for a full stack developer to help me bring an idea to life. I have worked with developers in the past another projects and due to budget constraints. I’m interested in giving equity piece on the product / service which would be used during live events. So I’m looking for a developer that has a passion in the arts and music. Any idea how I might be able to find a developer who is willing to work in this manner. Are there any groups online that I would be able to, this type of opportunity. Thank you so much for your insight and keep up the great work.
Dude you explained that so well.
Full stack vibes up.✅️👍
I'm here because of Pierre, thank you for Ultimate Trainer 6 Pierre.
Good video. My first three jobs were full stack, although the BE was mostly PHP / node. My new job I primarily do FE and a little bit of DevOps. It’s a bigger organization and so we have like 15+ people only doing FE, the BE team is much larger. My point is it seems the larger the project and the more careful you need to be it is more likely there will be the distinct dichotomy of FE and BE. I never knew this until I got my current job
Liked and subscribed! Thank you Andy!
Hey Andy! Nice video! This reminds me of our quick conversation about full stack during the Skype meeting we had a little bit ago
Everything you said in this video can I also included web design into it? What I mean is knowing different design styles, using colors, and using various tools like Figma. Apart from knowing front and Backend.
Hello everyone, and a massive thank you to Andy for this crystal and brief introduction to full stack development.. so one thing I want to ask is what is the core differences between full stack development and web development. Or what web development exactly is?
Thanks for this Andy!
