Being a Sr. software consultant, I come across some common questions on full stack coders on a day-to-day basis from businesses want to develop their web or mobile apps. Some questions are like:

Okay so in this blog, I am going to answer some common queries of businesses related to full stack coders. Read the questionnaire in order to get the right and precise information about Full Stack Web Developers. Here we go:

Query 1: What is full-stack web development?

Full stack web development includes:

1. Writing code for designing a website: Here, a full stack web developer uses popular programming languages like HTML, HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript.

2. Writing code for receiving the information input from the users and saving it in databases: Here, a full stack developer uses various popular programming languages like PHP, Ruby on Rails and Python for creating algorithms and business logic in order to manipulate the data collected from the users.

3. Managing Servers: Here, a full stack developer hosts the database on servers. Once your website is hosted on a server, anyone can access your website online.

Addition Information: Have a look at the complete application stack:

Query 2: What does a full stack web developer do?

A full stack web developer works on the front end as well as backend portions of web application development or mobile application development. In other words, a full stack web developer is someone who can create a website that has an effective look and efficient functionality.

**So Then... What is a Full Stack Engineer?**A full stack engineer is a senior level developer role for someone with the skills of a full stack developer (as described above), but with the experience of project management in things like systems administration (managing, configuring, and maintaining computer systems and networks).

Query 3: What is the difference between a full stack developer and the MEAN stack developer?

A full stack developer has knowledge and experience of working with various stacks like MEAN, MERN, and LAMP. But it is not compulsory that a full stack developer is expert in all these stacks.

But a MEAN stack developer is expert in MEAN stack and has expertise in working on various technologies like MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJs, and NodeJS. All of these technologies have one thing common and that is, all of them use scripting language JavaScript.

Query 4: What’s the Difference Between Front End, Back End, and Full Stack?

A Front End developer writes code for designing a website or application and has the capability to manipulate the information present on the website in order to make it look effective and appealing. Front End developer uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

A Back End developer writes code for receiving the information input from the user. Also, a Back End Developer saves this information in the database.

Full Stack Web Developer has experience of working in both the technologies- Front End as well as Back End. Also, he/she has additional knowledge about MERN, MEAN, and LAMP.

Query 5: How a full stack web developer can help you enhance your business?

A full stack web developer is proficient in both frontend and backend of any web or mobile applications and they can create a good looking and attractive web app for your business.

Also, the developer writes the code to give it efficient functionality. Not only this, a full stack developer hosts the database of your website on the server. So, by creating an attractive and efficient website, a full stack web developer helps you to get potential customers online.

Instead of hiring multiple coders, programmers or developers, some companies or businesses prefer professionals who can multitask. There’s a famous saying, “two is better than one.” So when you know both back-end and front-end, there is a higher chance and opportunity to land a job in the tech or software industry. In addition to this, based on the project need, a business can easily switch between front-end and back-end development.

Query 6: Which are some good full stack web development providers in India?

There are several companies providing full stack developers for hire basis where one can hire full stack web developers at affordable price rates.

Here are these companies- PixelCrayons, Total, Peerbits, PixelPoint Technology, Konstant Solutions, Octal Software, Mind Inventory

Query 7: Which programming languages a full stack developer know?

A full stack web developer has good experience of working with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, and Python.

Query 8: What is the average pay of the full stack web developers in India or will it cost high for hiring?

According to a pilot conducted by Indeed, the average salary for a Full Stack Developer in India is 6.25 lakhs per annum. It implies that a Full Stack Developer in India makes around 52 thousand per month.

Query 9: Why is hiring a full stack web developer better than normal web developers?

A full stack developer has the knowledge and experience of working with Front end web development as well as Backend web development. Moreover, full stack developer has knowledge about technologies like LAMP, MERN and MEAN.

But if you hire a normal web developer, then this web developer may not be having knowledge about so many technologies. A normal web developer can be either a front end developer or a back end developer.

So, instead of hiring two different developers, one can hire a full stack developer that will be solely responsible for managing the website or application development work from start to the end.

Query 10: Why should one outsource its full stack web development?

There are various full stack web development providers that offer robust Full Stack web development services. Outsourcing Full Stack Web Development can help to get the best services and that too at the said time deadline.

Moreover, it saves a lot of time that a business can put into making strategies for marketing and sales.
