My Journey to Becoming a Full Stack Developer

1

WordPress.com

Without a blogging platform like WordPress to install, or popular front-end frameworks like jQuery or Bootstrap, it was every man or woman for themselves. HTML, CSS and JavaScript were the languages of the day and without communities like StackOverflow, it could be difficult for a developer.

Xamarin Studio

As Microsoft changed their leadership and became a heavyweight in cloud computing, in addition to the enhancements to .NET and their front-end languages (Razor, Blazor, TypeScript), the .NET stack gradually became my preference as I got older. These days I'm a Windows user and a Microsoft enthusiast, but with .NET Core and Visual Studio for Mac being released, not to mention Visual Studio Code, we could all easily use a Mac or a PC, using the language or framework that made the most sense for the current project we're working on.

Foundation

I was definitely not a "full stack developer" on day one, or year one, two or three. At least I didn't call myself one for a long time. For one thing, the term "full stack developer" wasn't popular at the time. But as JavaScript libraries (jQuery) and frameworks (Angular, React) became common place in the industry, and CSS libraries (Bootstrap, Foundation) replaced writing your stylesheets by hand, there became demand to be capable in both the front-end and back-end of an application.
