What topics does the course cover?
By learning Full Stack Development, learners equip themselves with the necessary knowledge to treat all layers of the modern software stack: The frontend - This is the presentation layer; it is what is seen and experienced whenever a website or application is in use. Within frontend development, learners will gain the knowledge needed to build visually appealing and intuitive applications. The backend - This is the data layer; it is the logic and information that underpins applications we use. Within backend development, learners gain the knowledge to create algorithms and business rules to manipulate and manage data. Full Stack APIs & Integrations - For an application to work, the presentation layer and data layer must be able to communicate. This is done through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Within full stack development, learners become proficient in integrating the frontend and backend.
