Benefits of Becoming a Full-Stack Developer


In the world of web development, there is an ocean of knowledge that no one can possibly learn everything about.
New technologies and best practices are ever-expanding at a rapid pace, which makes it quite exciting and at times, a bit daunting. One of the challenges an early career developer will face is to become highly skilled on at least one core technology, but in order to become as valuable to your organization as possible, and often times to have more fun on the job – you must become more knowledgeable of the full stack your applications run on.

The pitfall is to become narrowly focused on only front end, back end, database, or infrastructure and server maintenance – on just one or two layers of the stack, or one programming language.
This is usually a good way to start a career in the industry, and it becomes comfortable to get better and better at just one thing. If you dive into another layer of the stack, you won’t be good at it right away which may not be appealing at first, and many give up before they become proficient at an important skill outside their area of specialty. Chad Fowler has a fantastic developer career advice book I recommend, The Passionate Programmer that explores the generalist/specialist perspectives (and much more).

If you take the time to continuously increase your knowledge about the full stack, it will open up new ways of thinking about everything you work on. It gets you thinking outside of the box, and allows you to more fully optimize every aspect of the application from top to bottom. It will build your confidence in your ability to say, “I don’t know how to do that yet but I will learn how to quickly” and to execute well. It allows you to bring the right technology for the job and not just the only thing you are an expert at. It will allow you to troubleshoot and fix a much greater number of issues, which is invaluable in a tech-emergency. In very small companies where the entire IT/developer count is one or two, it may be the only way to survive.

There is also something deeply satisfying about being able to plan, architect, develop, deploy and maintain an entire application and the stack it runs on by yourself. Not because you are required to or that it is always a good idea to, but just to know that you can. This can also open up more career opportunities for you – like if you want to be part of a high risk/reward tech startup that may only be able to afford one solid engineer at first to launch v1, or perhaps even to start-up your own company.

With so many great tutorials, blogs, books, open source software, and affordable cloud hosting platforms out there, the only barrier to entry is the motivation to spend some time learning.

In fact if you are a developer that is not interested in constantly expanding your knowledge and learning about and implementing new technologies, I dare say you may be in the wrong profession.

I graduate at the end of the year with a web development degree.
I am still learning/practicing CSS, JavaScript, HTML5, Jquery, and others.

It is only the first step to landing this caliber employment but I will print this and work on some of the other requirements.
I am really interested in Ruby on Rails and that whole Backbone Spine aspect.

Its not just good enough to learn the programs you have to be a ninja!! Right now I am barely a zombie. But it wont take long.

No reason for you to be a zombie.

You have to take on projects to really push yourself.

There are a number of projects you could work on.

Setup:
Register on Amazon AWS and they give you free micro-instances of any stack you like, LAMP, LEMP, LEPP etc...

Launch the instance and build something.

Learn nodejs for both front end and backend and then jump into the other frameworks like meteorjs and backbonejs


But do learn nodejs asap.

Install Coffeescript and Express


I'll post some tutorials in here for you if you are interested.

Are you on github?

For those in a computer science program, it is important that you do your own projects in github.

Employers are now asking to see your github so that they could see your coding skills.

That shit is now your resume.

Get on that and start coding and building a portfolio.


:cool:

Thanks for the info. Imma sub and def look into what you mentioned.

At this point I guess Im a bit confused as to what the full stack is about.
Any advice on github (other than just do it). I'll be checking that out soon too. Once again I am a novice, dont have many peers to colab with, so im taking baby steps until I get up to speed.


Im still trying to get a dynamic digital clock to work using JS in dreamweaver.

This is key. I think people are going overboard with it but yeah.....a github profile is almost a requirement now...it's being weighed heavily. You'll be livid when rejected because of the lack of a github profile with nice projects.

I have no specific "field" really.


Did telecom for many years, now an entrepreneur and also doing coding as a necessity for a platform I am building.


Programming is the new english.

If you can program, you will be needed in every single field.

For example:

Good question.

It's important to have a portfolio. That is done by starting an account on github to track all the stuff you are working on.

Projects:

1. Convert existing websites

e.g. you could build a twitter in RoR


2. You could rebuild a company's webpage, after that it's a wrap if they love it.

3. hackathons go to meetup and see what is happening in your area

4. Asking around your network if anyone wants work done

5. Networking with fellow RoR, search for groups around your area or online.

6. Increase your visibility on social media e.g. quora account, stackexchange, twitter, commenting on tech blogs etc.
The goal is to give an employer a goos sense of your abilities as well as your thought processes.
Don't fuck it up my using the same account to talk shit etc....

Bro, just drop your questions in here.

No shame in not knowing.

I once knew nothing but I had no intentions of staying that way :D

Besides your question will benefit much more people than yourself.

I don't want to be typing the same thing to a lot of people PMing me.

We can all share that is why I said feel free to ask questions on here.

Over the years I was able to ask and build with fellow posters so don't think bgol is all about bullshit.

real shit happens here
