The Importance Things of Full Stack Development

A full stack is the one who is proficient in a lot of things Like.....

● Server and hosting

● DBMS and RDBMS

● API interaction

● Quality assurance

● GUI and user experience

● Security and networking

● Understanding customer

A full stack made of..

● Self-hosted web server● Building client-side Uis● SPA integration like Knockout, Angular● Responsive Web Design like Bootstrap● MVV-Whatever Pattern like MVC for server-side & client-side UI /

JavaScript● Real-time applications through WebSockets/protocol upgrades● Security, routing and authentication● RESTful JSON APIs● Database integration● ORMs for easier CRUD operations● Cloud hosting /Deployment

● Self-hosting through OWIN/Katana, HttpListener or Kestrel (.NET server) on Mac OS X.

● Other Servers: IIS, IIS Express, Kestrel (Mac OS X)

● UI and UI Logic through Web Technologies (HTML, CSS, JS) + Razor

● Built-in security, routing, authentication (Windows, Individual Identity, External/Third Party)

● Templates to support SPA frameworks (Knockout, Angular). Also, see SideWaffle.

● Templates support Responsive Web Design (Bootstrap)

● Scaffolding for CRUD operations to DB through IDE

● JSON APIs through Web API

Over-view over Asp.net Web API

● Language-integrated queries (LINQ, Microsoft-specific)

● ORM (default Entity Framework) which handles lazy loading and CRUD operations automatically

● Built-in drivers for MongoDB and SQL Server

● Cloud hosting and deployment (to Azure or others)

● Package Management through NuGet

● Real-time web applications through SignalR

● IDE (Visual Studio)

● Tool installation through Microsoft Web Platform Installer.

Over-view over Node.js

● MEAN stack covers a lot of ground – MongoDB (DB), Express (Web Application Framework), AngularJS (SPA), Node.js (Web Platform/Server)

● Hosting and deployment options

● Node package management (tools) through npm

● Browser / project package management through Bower

● Build and tasks through Gulp

● Rails is full-stack in and of itself.

● Going through a Ruby on Rails Guide will get you covering a lot of ground.

● Common Servers: nginx, Apache through mod_rails module

● More on hosting and deployment here.

● ORM / CRUD through ActiveRecord pattern.

● Ruby gems to install packages, tools.

Server, Network, and Hosting Environment.

-This involves understanding what can break and why, taking no resource for granted.

-Appropriate use of the file system, cloud storage, network resources, and an understanding of data redundancy and availability is necessary.

-How does the application scale given the hardware constraints?

Layers of full stack Development

Data Modeling

-If the data model is flawed, the business logic and higher layers start to need strange (ugly) code to compensate for corner cases the data model doesn’t cover.

-Full stack developers know how to create a reasonably normalized relational model, complete with foreign keys, indexes, views, lookup tables, etc.


Business Logic

-The heart of the value the application provides.

-Solid object oriented skills are needed here.

-Frameworks might be needed here as well.


API layer / Action Layer / MVC

-How the outside world operates against the business logic and data model.

-Frameworks at this level should be used heavily.

-Full stack developers have the ability to write clear, consistent, simple to use interfaces. The heights to which some APIs are convoluted repel me.




User Interface

● -Full stack developers: understand how to create a readable layout, or acknowledge they need help from artists and graphic designers.

-Can include mastery of HTML5 / CSS.

-JavaScript is the up and coming language of the future and lots of exciting work is being done in the JavaScript world (node, backbone, knockout…)


User Experience

-Full stack developers appreciate that users just want things to work.

-A good system doesn’t give its users carpal tunnel syndrome or sore eyes. A full stack developer can step back and look at a process that needs 8 clicks and 3 steps, and get it down to one click.



Understanding what the customer and the business need.

-Now we are blurring into the line of architect, but that is too much of a hands off role.

-Full stack developers have a grasp of what is going on in the field when the customer uses the software. They also have a grasp of the business.
