Understand the technical foundations, as well as the non-programming skills needed to be a successful full stack web developer. This reveals the reasons why a truly successful full stack developer does more than write code.

You will learn the principles of the topics needed to help a developer new to agile or full stack working-UX, project management, QA, product management, and more- all from the point of view of a developer. Covering these skills alongside the fundamentals and foundations of modern web development, rather than specifics of current technologies and frameworks (which can age quickly), all programming examples are given in the context of the web as it is in 2018, but care is taken for these only to be used to explain an underlying concept that will remain relevant as the web evolves.

Although you need to feel comfortable working on code at the system, database, API, middleware or user interface level, depending on the task in hand, you also need to be able to deal with the big picture and the little details. The Full Stack Developer recognizes skills beyond the technical, and gives foundational knowledge of the wide set of skills needed in a modern software development team.
