Full Stack Developers are highly skilled developers that can design both the front-end (i.e. the user end) and the back-end of a website.A ‘Full Stack’ refers to all the layers of a website or application, and includes all the hidden architecture, databases, and servers that the end user can’t see. As Full Stack Developers are responsible for both the front-end and back-end design of websites, they are excellent generalists that can straddle both worlds. As such, many organisations use them to translate between teams, or spot errors that a specialist may not notice. This means they have a broad set of responsibilities that may change depending on the current needs of the team or client with whom they work.However, in general, it is their responsibility to: Work with the client to define project requirements and objectives Manage databases and servers Work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (and related frameworks) to craft client-facing sites or applications Create prototype sites (i.e. minimal viable product) Work with specialised developers and designers to create a fully-rounded product Cross-platform optimisation
