Introduction
Full stack developer is highly scalable as we can maintain, test, debug, and deploy efficient websites due to their innovation and creation. For developing and maintaining any website, we need to have proper knowledge of frontend and backend technologies. For frontend development, we need technologies such as HTML, CSS, Tailwind, JavaScript, and ReactJS, while backend technologies include Nodejs, MongoDB, PHP, Python, and others. These are the frameworks one needs to learn to become a master of full-stack development.
Frontend Technologies:
The frontend developer is responsible for composing, styling, and maintaining the client-side web server using various frontend technologies as follows
1. HTML
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. We use markup language to design the layout of creative web pages. It is used to create the structure of the webpage using various HTML labels, markers such as <head>,<title>,<body> and other tags. It has opening(<>) and closing syntax(/<>) with the help of angular brackets.
Syntax
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a Heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
2. CSS
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet. It is used to design and style responsive web pages. CSS has different selectors used to modify the inline or external styling properties, such as border, margin, padding, color, and others. We can handle media queries and screen resolution with the help of CSS. We can also design creative portfolios and templates with the help of CSS framework and in-built libraries.
Syntax
body {
background-color: pink;
}
h1 {
color: white;
text-align: center;
justify-between: center;
}
Types Of CSS frameworks
CSS frameworks are available to build portfolios used by developers and users, which saves their time and effort. These frameworks include Tailwind, Bootstrap, Foundation, Bulma, and others. They enable us to give a visual view of our website. It makes compatible websites and reduces the chances of errors and bugs.
1. Tailwind
Tailwind is a CSS framework used for designing and styling purposes. It contains pre-built libraries, which enables us to develop creative UI that attracts the user. We can install it using a command that must run on any editor terminal: npm install -D tailwinds. Tailwind reduces the complexity of the code. Using pre-built libraries and functions of Tailwind, we can easily design the CSS of any rendered UI.
2. Bootstrap
Bootstrap is an open-source CSS framework used for creating responsive websites. We need to install this framework using the command: npm install [email protected] building any responsive website, we need bootstrap in-built libraries and functions to improve the creativity of the designed UI.
3. JavaScript
IavaScript is the most popular frontend technology as it adds dynamic behaviour to the webpage. JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted, scripting language. It includes querying elements, runtime object construction, variable parameter lists, function variables, and dynamic script creation. It also supports inheritance mechanism and object creation, which enables it to build a prototype. It is a runtime model used for collecting, processing and executing the sub queries.
4. ReactJs
ReactJs is a popular Javascript library for creating flexible and efficient UI interfaces. It is not a framework, but it is a component-based library used for manipulating virtual DOM. It works faster than Javascript and is hence widely used by developers. We can fetch and render the UI design using features of components, functions, props, and hooks of React. Using DOM, it can mount, update, and unmount the elements. It is used to design the Model View Controller (MVC) architecture using modular interfaces and promoting the development of reusable UI.
Backend Technologies
Backend developers are responsible for maintaining the server side of the website. Backend development is to test, integrate, and deploy the API(Application Programming Interface). It is also responsible for fetching and maintaining the database. We can write backend code using various programming languages such as Nodejs, Python, Java, PHP, Laravel etc. Some popular backend technologies are as follows
1. Nodejs
It is the popular backend technology used to generate dynamic page content by creating, opening, reading, writing, adding, deleting and closing files of the given data on the server. Node.js files contain actions that will be performed on certain events when someone is trying to access a port on the server. It also performs asynchronous activities using functions and event handlers. It has introduced its package manager named npm to set up the Nodejs environment by running commands in an integrated terminal.
2. MongoDB
MongoDB is used to maintain data in a database fetched from the user. It is compatible in nature and it contains several environment setup such as MongoDB Atlas, MongoDB community and others. It requests a query in the binary form of a JSON(JavaScript Object Notation) object. We also have MongoDB shell, to test the questions generated and interact with the user data. It is used to perform CRUD(create, read, update, and delete) operations on the given data.
3. Django
Python is one of the most portable, lightweight, and interpreted languages widely used in development. Django is a platform-independent language. Django is a web framework on a server based in Python used for backend development. It follows the Model Template View (MTV) architecture. It focuses on the reusability of the code with minimal bugs. Django is highly flexible as it provides security from data breach, protects from SQL injection, and helps handle complicated tasks.
4. SpringBoot
Java is another popular language that provides a runtime environment and is hence used to build dynamic webpages and applications. Java uses Servlet, SpringBoot, and other technology to develop the backend. SpringBoot is a web framework based on Java language that helps developers build productive and creative web and mobile applications. It is highly scalable as it uses JAR(Java Resource)files due to its accessible and readable format. It also conserves memory with the technique of bootstrapping.
5. PHP
PHP is a powerful scripting language used to create dynamic and innovative web pages. PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor, used to create blogs and forums using SQL query to store and manage data. It can be used to encrypt data and control user access. It is compatible to run on several servers, such as Apache, IIS, and others.
