Full Stack Development : All that you need to know


What is a Full Stack Development professional?
A full stack development professional is the one who is having a sound technical knowledge of each and every aspect of development – front end, back end, various operating systems among other details of the technology. These people are usually termed as “developer generalists”. The significant thing to be noted here is that full stack developer should not be confused with senior developers.
In nutshell, this stack of developers can create any complex application from the scratch, provided they would have understood how each technical layer should interact with the other.
Why Full Stack Development?
At the beginning of this post, we have mentioned about a query that had instantly popped in the mind – why would a company require full stack development professional. Here’s the answer:
1. Creation of unique code:
The developer or the agency would be able to create a unique code for multiple technologies; as they could work with various kinds of software tools that are complex as well as simple. This would give an extra edge to the company or organization opting for full stack development.
2. Multiple technologies for wonderful user experience:
A full stack development professional would be proficient in innumerous programs like JS, HTML, PHP, CSS etc. among many others. H/she would be proficient to work with all these programs and incorporate well into the site design. It would be an ad-on to the capabilities of the full stack developer, if h/she knows how to work with animation and graphics. Some professionals would also be able to convert complex Photoshop designs to front end code. This will reduce the dependency of the organization on various technical professionals, thereby, enhancing their business efficiency.
What are basic requirement to be a full stack developer?
To write front end code in HTML, CSS, Javascript
To create and use APIs
To write backend code in Ruby, Python/ Java, PHP
To know about working with infrastructure including hardware and OS
Solve and understand queries related to databases
Manage Project and coordinate with the Client
Technologies that a Full Stack Developer must know:
HTML/ CSS
The first thing to be learnt in becoming web developer is HTML and CSS. These are the basic building blocks to design and develop websites. It enables you to add content and styles to your project site.
Javascript:
It is a very popular technology in which is unveiling innovations quite frequently. Every year some new tools and frameworks get released. Hence, strong knowledge of JS would be an added advantage. Also, knowledge of JS frameworks like Angular JS and React JS; and jQuery would allow the full stack developers to write long codes easily.
Programming languages:
After strengthening frontend concepts, try gaining a strong foothold in backend languages like Java, PHP, .Net etc.  This will allow you to handle logic required for building application, user authentication, and other operations for data management. Whichever language is chosen, ensure to be thorough with all its nuances.
Storage and Database:
After learning the programming languages, learn a database management language such as My SQL/MS SQL. Gain knowledge about how to connect a backend language to database. Also, this will make you aware how to store cookies, sessions, and cached data.
REST API and HTTP
Understand about various protocols such as HTTP, which facilitates communication between client and server. Moreover, one of the significant trending terms – RESTful web services must also be known to you. REST provides interoperability between computer and internet. It would be an ad – on if the knowledge of Chrome DevTools and SSL certificates is also acquired.
Learning Architecture details:
A full stack web application developer must know the architecture of a web application. It would allow him/her to figure out the structure of the code, the type of data that needs to be structured, where and how to perform sundry computational tasks. This would help in developing complex applications.
Version control or Debugging:
A version control system is a component of software configuration management, which allows you to manage the changes that you make in the documents, computer programs, large websites etc.  The changes are usually identified by a number of letter codes such as ‘revision level or number’. It requires a Full Stack Developer to be well versed with version control system. Further, understanding of GIT will help you in tracking the changes made to codebase.
Full stack development
Signing Off:
Full Stack Web Development is an ushering technology gradually unfolding new innovations. Concisely, this process involves three layers – Presentation, Business Logic and Database. A full stack developer takes care of the steps from conception of idea to actual finished product.  Many big companies are hiring full stack developers to meet their project demands.
Also, it would be a wise decision to opt for Full stack development as a career. It won’t be just learning various technologies, but experiencing how to work on real projects.

Why, when and how to return Stream from your Java API instead of a collection

Introduction Collections are basic and commonly used data structures. Programmers from the beginning of their career learn how to use them to receive, process and return data. Getting more advanced in Java programming, they find stream() method to convert a collection into a stream and learn how to process data using some of the stream’s useful methods like map, flatMap or reduce. They could also notice that other APIs in Java return a stream too e.g. String.lines(), Matcher.results(), Files.find(), Random.ints(). If you have experience with consuming streams but haven’t produced them yet, this article is for you. I’m going to show you some scenarios where streams can be very convenient and examples on how to use them. Additionally, I shortly mention error handling and resource management. The article is based on standard Java library java.util.stream. It’s related neither to reactive streams nor to other implementation of streams like e.g. Vavr. Also, I’m not going to cover a

What is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes (also known as k8s or “kube”) is an open source container orchestration platform that automates many of the manual processes involved in deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications. In other words, you can cluster together groups of hosts running Linux containers, and Kubernetes helps you easily and efficiently manage those clusters. Kubernetes clusters can span hosts across on-premise, public, private, or hybrid clouds. For this reason, Kubernetes is an ideal platform for hosting cloud-native applications that require rapid scaling, like real-time data streaming through Apache Kafka. Kubernetes was originally developed and designed by engineers at Google. Google was one of the early contributors to Linux container technology and has talked publicly about how everything at Google runs in containers. (This is the technology behind Google’s cloud services.) Google generates more than 2 billion container deployments a week, all powered by its

Best way to learn Java programming

Having said that I am writing this post dedicated to all my young (or I should say beginner) fellows who want to attain a certain level of proficiency in java technology and somewhere would like to take my advice on this. Keep in mind that if you do not like the way to learn java, I am proposing in this post, then just ignore me. Period. OR better, suggest me what you think is the better way to learn java fast or easily. Here I am assuming the people reading this post will be, who are very new to language, so I will start by listing first thing first. Make sure you have prepared your Java development environment ready i.e. You have installed JDK/JRE and you have an IDE like Eclipse. 1) Learn the language basics This is the first step for very obvious reason. If you don’t know the basics then you will never know either what to do next or what you are doing wrong. Initially, I do not expect from you to become the master of all java basic stuffs like keywords, core concepts o
