What is a Full Stack Developer?

This is can be a common question to people new to the world of development. It actually just has a simple answer, it means that someone is working on the full range of technologies when working on a project. Specifically the developer is not just specialized in one area like the database, front end (HTML/CSS), or just some language like Java. So a full stack developer will be familiar with all of those technologies and how to use them. Usually this will mean that a full stack developer will make more money then someone who just does front end work. It is important to determine what kind of work that you like to do when finding a job. That is because it would be more beneficial to only work in the front end of things if that is what you prefer then force yourself to work all over the technology stack. Don’t forget that this does not mean a full stack developer is not specialized in any area. They may have a specialty in database development but have a good working knowledge of all the other areas. That is about all there is to the question, “What is a Full Stack Developer?”.
