Let's start your full-stack journey with how internet works in the first place. Debugging is a very important skill. For frontend, mastering dev tools is as essential as learning to code.Git and GitHub streamlines a lot of ops-heavy work and allows you to focus on what matters - code.React.js is a popular choice for frontend web development. Alternatively, there are options like Vue, Svelte and more.Making a good UI is hard. Presets from Tailwind makes it easier to make consistent UI.Testing makes your code solid and helps you ship with confidence.React on Server has multiple benefits - SEO, speed, better UX, caching, and more. Linux is extremely important for backend developers. Most backend servers run on linux. You should be comfortable working with linux/bash.Any backend language should work, however since you're already familiar with JavaScript, Node.js is a good choice.APIs are building blocks of backend services since they allow differently built servers/clients to communicate using JSON/XML.PostgreSQL is an amazing SQL database. Alternatively, you could also try learning MongoDB, a popular NoSQL database.GitHub ActionsBitbucketCI/CD allows you to focus on code instead of deployments. It is an important backend/ops skill to master. Redis is a powerful in-memory scalable database that allows you to do a number of things - from rate limiting to caching and more.

The reason I didn't take any free course is that this paid course is letting me keep track of my progress (I have attached a screenshot for the same). It contains the right videos for the content that I need to learn Solidity.

If you are planning to buy a course for full-stack. I would suggest go with a @codedamncom free resources. Their resources are more than enough to get started and once you feel confident then only purchase their pro package. Which is worth the money I believe. #100DaysofCode

More About Full Stack Learning Path

With the increasing demand for experts who can work across multiple layers of web development, understanding the full stack web development path is critical to make an impactful career. Let us discuss what full stack development is, why it is required, and the full stack roadmap for 2023.

What is Full Stack Web Development?

In the world of web development, there are two primary areas: frontend and backend. Frontend focuses on the user interface and user experience - everything that a user interacts with directly. On the other hand, backend development handles the server, application, and database that work behind the scenes to make that user interface functional.

A full stack web developer is a jack-of-all-trades in web development. They are comfortable working with both frontend and backend technologies. To put it simply, a full stack web developer is someone who can work on a project from start to finish, handling everything from designing a webpage to configuring the server and database.

Why is Full Stack Development Required?

The appeal of full stack developers lies in their versatility. In a world where project scopes are continually changing and the need for rapid prototyping is increasing, having a team member who understands all layers of web development is highly beneficial.

Companies favor full stack developers for a variety of reasons:

  1. Cost-effective: Hiring one knowledgeable full stack developer can often be more cost-effective than hiring multiple specialists.
  2. Versatility: Full stack developers can assist in all stages of project development, making them a flexible asset to any team.
  3. Unified Development Process: A full stack developer can ensure the project's cohesion, making the end product more unified and efficient.
  4. Faster Problem Solving: Their broad skill set allows full stack developers to troubleshoot and solve problems across the entire project.

The Full Stack Web Developer Learning Path 2023

Learning full stack web development can be an overwhelming task given the myriad of languages, frameworks, and tools available. However, by following codedamn's structured learning path, you can take it one step at a time and ultimately become proficient in full stack development. Here is our recommended learning path for 2023 in brief. Use the interactive roadmap above for all courses, projects and practice problems.

1. Learn HTML/CSS: These are the building blocks of web development. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, which structures the content on the web. CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is used for styling the HTML elements.

2. Master JavaScript: JavaScript is the programming language that makes web pages interactive. It's an essential tool in a full stack developer's toolbox. Also, consider learning a JavaScript framework such as React.js, Angular.js, or Vue.js to speed up the development process.

3. Learn Backend Programming: Choose a backend language such as Python, Java, or Node.js (if you prefer to stick with JavaScript) and learn it thoroughly. Learn about handling server-side operations, writing APIs, and connecting with a database.

4. Understand Databases and Web Storage: Familiarize yourself with both SQL (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB) databases. Understand the principles of data modeling and how to interact with databases using your chosen backend language.

5. Learn Web Architecture: Understand the principles of how web applications work, including HTTP protocols, REST, GraphQL, and web security practices.

6. Master a Full Stack Framework or Stack: Depending on your backend language, learn a relevant full stack framework. For example, if you learned Python, the Django or Flask framework would be relevant. Alternatively, learn a popular stack such as MEAN (MongoDB, Express.js, Angular.js, Node.js) or MERN (the same but replace Angular.js with React.js).

7. Understand DevOps and Cloud Services: Learn about containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and cloud services (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure). Understanding these will help you develop, deploy, and manage your applications effectively.

8. Practice!: Nothing beats hands-on practice. Work on real-life projects, contribute to open-source projects, and build your portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How long does it take to become a full stack developer?

A: This largely depends on the time you're willing to invest daily. If you're dedicating a few hours daily, it could take anywhere between 6-12 months to become proficient.

Q2: Do I need a computer science degree to become a full stack developer?

A: While a degree can be beneficial, it's not necessary. Many successful full stack developers are self-taught or have attended coding bootcamps. What matters most is a solid understanding of key concepts and lots of practice.

Q3: What is the most popular full stack?

A: Currently, the MERN and MEAN stacks are highly popular due to the extensive use of JavaScript.

Q4: Is Full Stack Development hard?

A: Full stack development is challenging as it requires understanding both frontend and backend. However, with a structured learning path and consistent effort, it's definitely achievable.

Happy learning!
