but first, prepare your brain cells.
Defining stack
And a full stack developer in its simplest words is someone who can develop both the frontend and the backend, or in other terms, a developer who can build both the client and the server.
These developers work from designing the application/system, building the application, the client and the server-side, handles and manages the database, and some even include the DevOps (for some).
A quick discussion, Frontend Stack includes, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript, ReactJS, AngularJS, VueJS, etc.
And the Backend Stack includes PHP, NodeJS, C++, Java, Python, ExpressJS, SQL, MongoDB, REST, C#, ASP.NET, Ruby, etc.
And stacks include MERN Stack (MongoDB, Express, Reactjs, NodeJS), MEAN Stack (MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, NodeJS), Django Stack (Javascript, Python, Django, MySQL), Ruby on Rails (Javascript, Ruby, SQLite, and Rails), etc.
