Full-stack web development includes the development of both front-end and Backend web development. The front-end development deals with the client-side development of the application.
Back-end development includes the server-side development of the web application. Full-stack development is a combination of both.
If you want to know everything about full-stack web development, you are at the right place. In this blog post, you will find everything that you want to know about full-stack web development.
Let's dive into technologies that you need to know for full-stack web development.
Technologies For Full-Stack Web Development
Full-stack web development includes two elements:
- Front-end web development
- Backend web development
For front end web development, you need to learn the following technologies:
- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript
For Backend web development, you need to learn the following technologies:
- Programming languages like Java, Nodejs, Python
- Backend frameworks like Express, Django, etc.
Along with front-end and Backend development, you need databases as well. Databases store your data in a structured and secured way. Some of the popular databases used are:
- Oracle
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- MongoDB
Other tools besides the technologies that are required for full-stack web development are:
Version Control Management
When you develop an application or project, there are different versions. Version control systems help you to recall a version whenever you require it. Version control systems track changes and modifications made to the source code. One of the popular version control systems is Git.
Terminal
CLI or terminal is a developer's friend. There will be multiple scenarios when you require a terminal. It helps you print debug output and test whether you are on the right path of development or not. Terminal also lets you execute basic git commands, bash commands, and many others.
Text Editors
Text editors are the main working space of a developer. A text editor is software where you write all your source code. Before starting the full-stack web development journey, get familiar with a text editor. Getting familiar with a text editor can help you simplify your development process. Some of the popular text editors are Visual Studio Code, Atom, WebStorm, etc.
Browser Development Tools
Every browser has developer tools embedded in it. These developer tools allow you to access and manipulate the front end of your application. It lets you view the APIs that execute for rendering the application. It has several tabs for different purposes. For Example, the element window helps you to access the HTML code of your application. Learning how to use developer tools lets you debug your code whenever required.
Extensions
Text editors provide numerous extensions that make the development process easy. Using text editor extensions developed for autocomplete, code suggestions help in improving the speed of code and enhance your productivity.
