Overview/Description
Follow the path a developer takes in the journey to become a full stack developer (FSD). This course provides an overview of modern web development along the way. Begin by exploring the three layers of full stack development: the presentation layer, the business logic layer, and the database layer. Consider build tools, application tests, workflow, hosting, maintenance, and services. Discuss client-side technologies as they relate to FSD, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Sass, Gulp, and Grunt. Look at popular front-end and server-side technologies, and how to apply persistence. Conclude by examining the model-view-controller (MVC), application design patterns, and tools to build and test your work.
