What is Full stack developer?

What is Full Stack developer?

-         Full Stack developers are now trending in software industry.

-         Software developer who can handle end-to-end application development.

-         Developer can manage database, server-side application, middleware, client-side tools, web server. [Full Stack Developer]

-         Front-end to Back-end.

What you will learn in Full Stack?

-         Complete front end development. [HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JS, JQ, Angular JS, React JS etc.]

-         Server-Side Technologies. [Node JS]

-         Database. [MongoDB, MySql]

-         Middleware. [Express.js]

-         Web Servers. [IIS, Tomcat]

-         Cross platform framework for Mobile apps. [Ionic],

-         Angular JS

-         React.js

What we can build by using Full Stack?

-         Web Application

-         Distributed Application

-         Mobile Native Application

Who can learn Full Stack?

-         Anyone, no technical knowledge required: Full Stack

-         Java, .NET, PHP, Python, Mobile

 

Full Stack developer is perfect up to: front end, server side and database.
Full Stack developer can’t handle support projects until or unless you have knowledge in Java, .NET, PHP, Python.

What is difference between Full Stack, MEAN, MERN and UI?

-         UI is all about “Front End Development”

o  HTML

o  CSS

o  Bootstrap

o  JavaScript

o  jQuery

o  Angular JS etc.

o  No database , middleware and server side

-         What is MEAN Stack

o  M     MongoDB         Database

o  E       Express              Middleware

o  A       Angular             Client Side

o  N      Node.js              Server Side

o  No Front end tools or language

-         What is MERN Stack

o  M     MongoDB         Database

o  E       Express              Middleware

o  R       React                  Client Side

o  N      Node.js              Server Side

o  No Front end tools or language

-         Full Stack

o  Front End 

o  Back End

Different Types of Applications we are going to learn in Full Stack

-         Web Application

-         Distributed Application

-         Mobile Native Application

What is Single Page Application [SPA] and Progressive Web Application?

-         SPA

-         In SPA user will stay on one page and get access to everything from the page.

-         User will not Navigate from one page to another.

-         In Web Applications, Distributed Applications and Mobile Native applications we are using SPA environment.

-         We will do that by using “Angular JS, React.js and Ionic” for SPA

-         PWA [Progressive Web Applications]

-         In PWA web site will have app like behaviour in browser.

-         A web site looks like an “app” not like a page.

-         We can do that by using “React.js and Ionic”

What is UI, UX?

-         Front End development

-         UI [User Interface]

-         UX [User Experience]

-         UX is part of UI.

-         Web started in early 1990’s

-         Tim Berners Lee introduced the concept of Web.

-         For Early web development UI is enough.

o  HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery etc.

-         Modern web development has several challenges

o  80% to 90% of internet users are using web from smart devices.

o  Our traditional websites are too large and can’t reach low bandwidth devices easily.

o  Client wants an

§  Unified UX

·       Our application must provide same features and functionality across any device.

§  Fluid UX

·       User will stay on one page and get access to everything.

§  Easy Extensibility

§  Simplified Deployment.

o  Solution

§  Angular JS, React.js etc.

 

Front-end Development

What is front-end?

-         Software applications follow tier and layer architecture.

-         Applications are built in layers.

-         Applications run in tiers.

Tier                     : run application

Layer                  : build application

-         Developers work in 3 layers

o  UI Layer

o  Business Layer

o  Database Layer

-         Application will run in tiers

o  Database Tier

o  Application Tier

o  Presentation Tier

-         Front End development is all about designing the UI.

-         In full stack we will learn building UI for 3 types of applications

o  Web Application

o  Distributed Application

o  Mobile Native Application

What we need to learn for developing UI?

-         HTML

-         CSS

-         LESS

-         SASS

-         Bootstrap

-         JavaScript

-         jQuery

-         Angular JS

-         React

-         Ionic

Front End Web Development

-        How to Install Node JS on your computer?

-         We are installing node.js for “Package Manager”.

-         Package Manager is a software tool used to install various libraries required for your development.

-         Library like bootstrap, jQuery, Angular JS etc.

-         There are several package managers like: yarn, npm, NuGet, bower, RubyGems

Web Site

-         Web site is a virtual directory on Web Server.

-         Site refers to location on server.

-         Location on any computing device is actually Drive and directory reference.

Creating a new Website Locally:

-         http://localhost/fullstackweb

-         Go to physical path

-         Add “Images” folder

-         Keep any image in folder

-         Now try access from browser

http://localhost/fullstackweb/images/yourpic.jpg

 

\  - back slash – for physical path

/  - forward slash – for virtual path

 

Web Page

-         It is a hypertext document that provides an UI for your website, so that users can interact with the resources in website.

-         The term “hyper” refers to a Greek term, which means “beyond”.

-         Hypertext document is a special type of document used in network for presentation.

-         It comprises of content to display and also the content beyond the display.

-         The UI for website is designed by using Web Pages.

-         The web pages are classified into 2 types

o  Static Page

o  Dynamic Page

Static web page:

-         The term static refers to static memory.

-         Static is continuous memory. [Connected in access]

-         Memory allocated for first request will continue for other requests.
