Traditionally, developers are separated into two main camps: front-end and back-end developers. Typically, front-end developers focus on developing product interfaces, while back-end developers are “behind-the-sciences.” In other words, back-end developers are responsible for building, testing, and maintaining a software product. However, nowadays, we hear more and more about full-stack developers. In fact, over the past decade and a half, the demand for full-stack developers has increased exponentially. A full-stack developer is someone who can program across different sets of technologies and works both on the front and the back ends of mobile apps or SaaS products.
The Expert Skill-Set of a Full-Stack Developer
Full-stack developers often have the following skills, which include but are not limited to:
- Experience in multiple programming languages (e.g., PHP, Python, C #, Java, TSQL)
- Experience in open-source systems and servers
- Proficiency in interacting with various databases (e.g., MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, MongoDB)
- Work with different libraries (e.g., JQuery, Angular, ReactJS)
- Knowledge in visual, web, and user experience (UX) design, working with HTML and CSS
Some assume that compared to a specialized developer, full-stack engineers have less expertise in different development areas. However, recognizing the skill set that these IT professionals bring to the table, most organizations today want to hire full-stack developers to draw on their diverse competencies. Full-stack developers can easily lead teams because they are proficient in a wide range of technologies. Moreover, these programmers can single-handedly develop various web applications, while simultaneously manage servers, often replacing 4 or 5 specialized developers. Working with a full-stack developer is more cost-effective because a given individual can execute all of the tasks ranging from product idea, design to product launch. A highly efficient full stack developer can help bring an application concept to life very quickly.
