Full Stacks From My Point of View

For the past couple of years I have been learning how to work with front-end languages and technologies like HTML, CSS and a little bit of  Javascript. However,  I have never really touched upon the backend until this month.

It was challenging at first and we spent most of our time getting ourselves familiar with the new syntax and the many many many frameworks and libraries that are usually used together in combo when working on this side.

Fullstack web development means creating an application and taking care of everything concerning it's functionality and UI.
 We've been learning the basics of Javascript for the past couple of months and a little bit of CSS, HTML and jQuery.Now in the immersive we learned more front-end frameworks like backbone/react and angular.

And for the backend we learned the basics of nodejs and express.

For persistence of data we learned how to use sqlite3, mysql, knex, bookshelfjs and mongodb which I really liked.

Putting all of these pieces together (front end + backend) would make what we used to call Full Stack.

I'm aiming at becoming a Full Stack Web Developer and I'm doing what I can to achieve that.

Stack vs. Queue

Stack is like a pile of  books placed on top of each other. We can add new books to the top and can remove them from only the top because stacks are LIFO which means last-in, first-out. Queues on the other hand are the opposite, which is FIFO meaning first-in, first-out. So adding an element to the queue will be the same but removing will happen to the first element not the last one. An example of a queue would be the wait line in front of any kind of service we see around us like the bus station or the shops,....etc.

Middlewares

Middlewares in Javascript are functions that come in the middle of the request-response cycle. They have access to both the request and the response object as well as the next middleware function to be executed; usually called next(). Popular examples on middleware include: body-parser, cors, session, cookie-seesion and cookie-parser.
