Full Stack Development Explained

For many new programmers there is some confusion about what full stack development entails. In this video I break down what you need to know in less than 5 minutes.

I've been testing out the shorter format of videos here and there to see how you all like it. Leave me a comment to let me know how you're liking it. Thank you!!!

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. 🤓

I like the short videos and the long videos. This one was useful. Thank you!

Simple explanation and straight to the point

Hey Andy! Nice video! This reminds me of our quick conversation about full stack during the Skype meeting we had a little bit ago

[sijamilla]

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.

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

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

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?

[slimyelow]

Question: Does coding business logic (algorithms, data structures, systems etc.) also fall into fullStack or backEnd development?

[dennistucker]

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.

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.

Does "full stack" mean anything when one writes cross-platform console or GUI apps?

[fuggeldev]
