Full Stack Development Overview

Study Notes

Full Stack Development

Web Architecture

Three-Tier Architecture:
- Presentation Layer (Client-side): User interface and user experience
- Application Layer (Server-side): Business logic and data processing
- Data Layer (Database): Data storage and retrieval
MVC (Model-View-Controller) Pattern:
- Model: Represents data and business logic
- View: Handles user interface and display
- Controller: Receives input, interacts with Model, and updates View

Back-end Development

Server-side Programming:
- Handles requests and sends responses
- Handles database interactions and data storage
- Responsible for business logic and authentication
Back-end Frameworks:
- Node.js (JavaScript)
- Django (Python)
- Ruby on Rails (Ruby)
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces):
- Allow different systems to communicate with each other
- Define how data is structured and transmitted

Front-end Development

Client-side Programming:
- Handles user interface and user experience
- Responds to user input and updates the UI
- Interacts with back-end APIs to retrieve and send data
Front-end Frameworks:
- React (JavaScript)
- Angular (JavaScript)
- Vue.js (JavaScript)
UI/UX Design:
- Focuses on user experience and accessibility
- Involves designing visual elements and layout
- Aims to create an intuitive and engaging user interface
