What does the "stack" in fullstack means?

The “stack” in full-stack refers to a developer’s tech stack, which is a combination of programming languages and skills a developer uses to build an application or project. In this case, a full-stack engineer’s tech stack has both front-end and back-end programming languages, libraries, frameworks, APIs, and other tools.

What do full-stack engineers do?

Full-Stack Engineers know both front-end and back-end engineering. More than that, they understand how both pieces work together so they can create the communication between the two and work on projects from start to finish.

what programming languages and technologies do full-stack Engineers need to know?

It’s helpful for Full-Stack Engineers to know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React for front-end development, plus Node.js, Express.js, SQL, and PostgreSQL for back-end. This career path will help you build all of these important skills.

What do i need to know before taking this career path?

There aren’t any prerequisites to taking the Full-Stack Engineer career path, but it helps to have an understanding of programming fundamentals.

How full-stack Engineers Different From Front-end or Back-end?

Front-End Engineers manage the parts of websites and applications that users see and interact with.
Back-End Engineers are responsible for all of the hidden systems and servers that host and support websites and applications.
Full-Stack Engineers know a bit of both front-end and back-end engineering, so they can complete a project on their own from start to finish.
