What is Full-Stack Web Development?
Full-stack web development refers to the process of building and maintaining both the front-end (client-side) and back-end (server-side) of a website or web application. A full-stack web developer is skilled in handling all layers of a web application, from the user interface to the database and server infrastructure.
Front-End Development: This involves creating the parts of a website or app that users see and interact with. Technologies used include:
HTML: Structures the content.
CSS: Styles the content.
JavaScript: Adds interactivity and dynamic features.
Frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js are commonly used.
Back-End Development: This deals with the server, database, and logic behind the scenes. Technologies include:
Programming languages like PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, or Node.js.
Databases such as MySQL, MongoDB, or PostgreSQL.
Server management and APIs to handle data transfer.
DevOps & Deployment: Full-stack developers often handle deployment and server configuration, ensuring the application runs smoothly on live servers.
