The Full Stack Developer: Your Essential Guide to the Everyday Skills Expected of a Modern Full Stack Web Developer
by Chris Northwood
Overview
Understand the technical foundations, as well as the non-programming skills needed to be a successful full stack web developer. This book reveals the reasons why a truly successful full stack developer does more than write code.
Although you need to feel comfortable working on code at the system, database, API, middleware or user interface level, depending on the task in hand, you also need to be able to deal with the big picture and the little details. The Full Stack Developer recognizes skills beyond the technical, and gives foundational knowledge of the wide set of skills needed in a modern software development team.
What You'll Learn
- Plan your work including Agile vs Waterfall, tools, scrum, kanban and continuous delivery
- Translate UX into code: grids, component libraries and style guides
- Design systems and system architectures (microservices to monoliths)
- Review patterns for APIs (SOAP, AJAX, REST), defining API domains, patterns for REST APIs and more API goodness
- Study the various front-end design patterns you need to know
- Store data, what to consider for security, deployment, in production and more
