Full-Stack Development

Fullstack Partner from Design to Integration... We are fiercely commintted to upholding Spokane's business ethics, values and security to the highest professinal standards large or small.

Here’s a breakdown of the frontend and backend components in full-stack web development:

  • Frontend Development: This involves creating the user interface and experience that users interact with directly in their web browsers. Frontend technologies typically include:
    • HTML: Hypertext Markup Language is used for structuring the content of web pages.
    • CSS: Cascading Style Sheets are used for styling the presentation of HTML elements.
    • JavaScript: A programming language used for adding interactivity, dynamic content, and behavior to web pages. Popular JavaScript frameworks and libraries include React.js, Angular, and Vue.js.
  • Backend Development: This involves building the server-side logic and functionality that powers the web application and interacts with databases, external APIs, and other resources. Backend technologies may include:
    • Server-Side Languages: Languages like JavaScript (Node.js), Python (Django, Flask), Ruby (Ruby on Rails), Java (Spring Boot), and PHP (Laravel) are commonly used for backend development.
    • Databases: Backend developers work with databases to store and retrieve data. Common databases include MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and SQLite.
    • Web Servers: Backend developers deploy their applications on web servers like Apache, Nginx, or Microsoft IIS to serve web pages to users.
    • APIs (Application Programming Interfaces): Backend developers create APIs to allow communication between the frontend and backend components, as well as with external services and third-party APIs.
  • Additional Skills: Full-stack developers often have knowledge of other tools and technologies used in web development, such as version control systems (e.g., Git), package managers (e.g., npm, pip), build tools (e.g., Webpack, Gulp), and deployment platforms (e.g., AWS, Heroku).

By mastering both frontend and backend development, full-stack developers are capable of building complete, end-to-end web applications, from designing the user interface to implementing the server-side logic and deploying the application to production.
