June 5, 2019A full stack developer at the beginning level is the one who handles all work related to database, servers, client handling, website maintenance, systems engineering and other software related issues. It depends upon the nature of the project that how efficiently handles the whole system either in the form of a mobile stack or a web stack.
Front-End technologies
Today’s projects and product development plans are having worth value for front end technologies. Product succession is tested by user experience and user experience is tested when the user interacts with front end pages and give their valuable feedbacks. Basic front end technologies revolve around the HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery which further subdivided into AngularJS and REACT.
Independent of your approach that you choose, you need to be very convenient with the usage of HTML and CSS in your own way to make your web pages interactive and eye-catching. You must know how to build UI of web pages and how to adjust multiple things on the same page. Although lots of other techniques used to make UI but HTML and CSS proves to be more needy and efficient for carrying out work. Let’s have a look at each of them individually so that idea can get clear for front end developer.
HTML5
HTML stands for the hypertext markup language, it’s a standardized system for tagging textual files to make its font, color, hyperlinks, and graphics appealing and attractive. Developers put their efforts into making pages responsive and eye-catching over the web world.
HTML5 is different from HTML in a sense of permitting alterations of web pages for their appearance, font, and responsiveness. It allows modification to show and fit the web content on web pages. It utilizes browsers to display information and supporting browsers are google chrome, internet explorer, Firefox and Safari. It tells us about the grid boundary line where we should put content, graphics, and images, etc. in short HTML5 describe the basic structure of any web page and its interactivity with other pages.
CSS
CSS is abbreviated for cascading style sheets and a great emphasis is on the style factor. HTML is just building a structure of web pages that here paragraphs, links, and graphics are embedded but CSS is used to style them. CSS makes its layouts colorful, stunning and fonts determinable. HTML is like a home structure and decoration or home interiority is done by CSS.
It works like
<p>this is first paragraph</p>
p{color:white, font-weight:bold}
p is the CSS of the anchor tag paragraph p.
React
React is a declarative JavaScript library for building interactive user interfaces. React major component is Render() which takes input data and then show its feedback on screen. It uses XML syntax most similar to JSX. Data passed for input can be accessed by this.props. JSX is an option in React not mandatory. It helps us to make complex UIS from small and optimized code. It has many factors to explain for a beginner. If a beginner wants to be a full stack developer and want to enhance his/her skill from React then must learn it through online ways.
Node
JavaScript is a web-based scripting language that deploys the HTML pages. JavaScript is also known as a client-side language to manipulate tables, fonts, divs, etc. while all these things fall under the umbrella of a front-end developer. Similar to it, Node.js is effectively a server-side implementation of the JavaScript library. Node is about writing the backend of the project using JavaScript. It was built on Chrome’s JavaScript engine to provide event-driven and non-blocking input-output. It’s an open source, runtime ID designed for server-side development and linking various applications. I can be run within windows, mac or on OS X as well as Linux.
Conclusion
Being a full stack developer it’s your responsibility to polish your skills and hands-on-experience or training for front-end development. Build professional and responsive websites which can be launched on mobiles too. In this way you don’t only complete web pages or projects but also learn new coding practices that might help you in future projects.
