'''Full stack web development''' is the practice of working on both the [[Front-end web development|front-end]] and back-end of a program. It is a term mostly used for those working in [[web development]]. The developers have background on creating user interface and user experience for front-end, and also have strong knowledge in a programming language that is used for handling the logic of the application, hence back-end.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.multidots.com/full-stack-development-need-know/|title=All you need to know about Full Stack Development {{!}} Multidots|date=2018-01-16|work=Multidots|access-date=2018-08-22|language=en-US}}</ref>

Full Stack is a layer of [[software]] or [[web development]] consisting of the front-end and the back-end portions of an application. Front-end is what the users will see or interact with on your application. Back-end part is what users do not see, such as application's logic, database, server, etc. A full-stack web developer is comfortable working with both back-end and front-end technologies which make a website or application function properly.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.codingdojo.com/web-development-courses#what-is-full-stack|title=Our Curriculum {{!}} Coding Dojo|website=www.codingdojo.com|language=en|access-date=2018-08-22}}</ref>

=== History ===
During 1970's, programming and development was not multi-layered yet so there was really no need for full stack developers. Developers can write complete programs that don't really have the user interfaces that we are used to now. <ref name=":0" />

Around 1990-2000's, full stack development was synonymous with web development. This was due to user interfaces being very simple and easy to make, so developers work on both front and back-end tasks.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://blog.honeypot.io/fullstack-developer/|title=What is a full-stack developer?|website=blog.honeypot.io|access-date=2018-08-22}}</ref>

Nowadays, most companies hire different developers that specializes in front-end and back-end, which also separates the tasks for user interface and logic.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://codelabsacademy.com/blog/what-does-a-web-developer-do|title=What does a Web Developer Do?|website=codelabsacademy.com|access-date=2023-01-22}}</ref>
