The rapid changes in the IT world are increasing the current standards and skills. Today, a developer should be considerably more than just a specialist of a particular field. Full stack developers are the product of this demand and are rapidly turning into a first choice for many enterprises. But, is it always wise to hire a jack of all trades than a specialist one?
Most of you may have a similar query. Here we will try to offer some sensible responses to it. But before that we should understand what full stack and specialist developers are.
What is a Full-stack developer?
A full-stack developer is a developer who can work with both backend and front end of a website and application. In basic terms, a full-stack developer is a developer who can work in the projects that include building user-facing websites, databases, and also work with clients while they are in the planning phase of the project.
Full-stack programmer is a developer who is knowledgeable and experienced in various areas like:
- Frontend development (Vue.js, Angular, Node.js, React)
- Backend development (PHP, Java, NET)
- UI/UX design
- Markup languages (HTML and CSS)
- Databases (Firebase, MongoDB, PosterSQL, MySQL)
- Software testing (TestComplete, Katalon studio, Postman, Selenium, etc)
- Scalability, architecture, and the roadmap of the project.
Contrary to numerous people’s belief, a full-stack software engineer doesn’t write all of the codes of a site by himself. Numerous times he invests his greater part of time either in the backend or the front end code of a site.
Also, writing code is just a small portion of a full stack developer’s work. This is because today there are numerous customizable, frameworks, tools, and libraries available that a developer can implement as opposed to writing the code himself.
This is the reason why having a skillful knowledge of implementing frontend and backend tools and framework makes the full-stack developer an attractive prospect for the enterprises hiring developers.
