Full-stack web development refers to the practice of building web applications that encompass both the client-side (front-end) and server-side (back-end) components. A full-stack developer is proficient in various technologies and tools required for both ends of web development, allowing them to work on the entire stack of a web application. Here's an overview of the key components and technologies involved in full-stack web development:
Front-End Development: Front-end development focuses on creating the user interface and user experience (UI/UX) of a web application. Key technologies and skills include:
- HTML (Hypertext Markup Language): Used for structuring the content of web pages.
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): Used for styling and layout of web pages.
- JavaScript: A programming language used for adding interactivity to web pages.
- Front-end frameworks and libraries: Such as React, Angular, or Vue.js, which simplify UI development.
- Responsive design: Ensuring that the application works well on various devices and screen sizes.
