full-stack development

As I go along in learning to code I find, more and more, that I am preparing myself for full-stack development. I guess that makes sense if I am going to be working by myself, but if I want a coding job I had better focus myself a bit more. For the time being, though, let me just keep working broadly like I have been.

Here’s yet another breakdown of the full stack taken from two articles titled 6 Essential Tips on How to Become a Full Stack Developer and Top Libraries + Tech to Learn in 2019 for Full Stack Developers.

• Front-end development: HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
  • Frameworks: LESS, SASS, Bootstrap, Foundation, Tachyons.
  • Libraries: Angular, React, TypeScript.
• Back-end development: Python, NodeJS.
  • Frameworks: Express, Django, Flask.
  • Testing: Jest, Mocha, Chai, Selenium.
• Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB.
• DevOps: Nginx, AWS.
• Mobile app development: ?

The first article also suggests that a full-stack developer should at least be familiar with the process of web design,including:

• UX design: research, moodboard (also check out this article on pro tips for creating better moodboards), wireframing, prototyping.
• UI design: general UI design, high-fidelity comps.

I don’t have much else to say. This post is far less than 500 words, but the hyperlinks speak a lot on the subject. Needless to say, I am still sorting out wherever it is I am going with my coding studies.
