Full stack web development refers to the end-to-end development of web applications, including both the front-end and back-end. A full stack developer is someone who can develop both client and server software, and is proficient in multiple programming languages and technologies. They are responsible for coding end-to-end workflows by using both front-end and back-end technologies. Full stack developers can use various technology stacks, such as MERN stack, MEAN stack, LAMP stack, LEMP stack, and Django stack, to build end-to-end applications.
The front-end of a web application is the visible part that is responsible for user experience, while the back-end takes care of the server-side of the application. Full stack developers are comfortable working with both front-end and back-end technologies that power a website or application. They are often responsible for the entire web application development process, from start to finish, which means they must have a strong understanding of all the technologies and tools involved in web development.
Advantages of hiring full stack developers for web application development include complete ownership and understanding of the project, saving project time and cost, enhancing productivity, and being able to master all the techniques involved in a development project.
