Thanks a lot for your valuable information. I recommend to add a reporting tool in the list such as SSRS, Crystal Reports,.. Every business software should include a reporting tool.

Is WebAPI is mandatory for full-stack developer?
- Sundaram Subramanian6y ago
  Yes, it is good if we know. But it's not a Mandatory (Anyways, if you are .net developer, you are going to use c# code only. )

Hi there, What is the advantage of using C# over Javascript in full stack development?
- Sundaram Subramanian7y ago
  JS is client side, and C# is server side. Mostly complex code can be done in C# rather than JS. Highly secured.
- zameer fouzan7y ago
  Now that we have blazor, we may as well use C# for client-side
- Sundaram Subramanian6y ago
  zameer fouzan, Agree your points. Thanks for bringing up.

(php web developer vs asp.net mvc developer)i need help which choice best job for most demanding means full stack
- Sundaram Subramanian8y ago
  In my view, .NET developers are more in demand. So I suggest to go with .NET since the market also has more demand developers.
Padmalatha Dronamraju8y ago
Nice Article....Good one!!!
- Sundaram Subramanian8y ago
  Thank you Soo much. Keep supporting.
Khaja Moizuddin8y ago
Sibeesh, I think for a full stack developer, only development related things or programming is required but I am not sure, will like to know from my seniors.....
- Sundaram Subramanian8y ago
  It depends on the project and company. In my company, only project manager and TL has the Rights to Access the Client server. Here Sibeesh venu point is , a full stack developer should have the skills of hosting too.
Sibeesh Venu8y ago
I believe, a full stack developer should also be having some fair knowledge of how hosting/deployment works. In fact, he/she must work with the project from the scratch to the last deployment. Please correct me if I am wrong.
- Sundaram Subramanian8y ago
  Yes of course you are very right buddy. Hosting is also one of the most important job in full stack developer.
Prakash Tripathi8y ago
Good one Sunder. Nowdays full stack developers are in demand
- Sundaram Subramanian8y ago
  Yes you are Right sir. Thank you Soo much for your share sir

Introduction

In this article, I would like to share some of the important key skills required to become a Full Stack Web Developer of .NET. In other terms, Full Stack Web Developer is also noted as a Web Stack Developer (Mainly works in Web-based application developments). In this article, we will see the following.

Background
Skills Required for Full Stack Developers
How to Improve my skills
Conclusion

Background

I thought of sharing my experience "How I became a Full Stack Developer in .NET". This article is based on my experience, how I worked hard to become a full stack developer, and what skills I developed to become a Full Stack Developer. If you follow the steps and improve your skills, you can shine as a better developer.

What is Full Stack Developer?

A person who is capable to work on the front-end and back-end of an application is known as a Full-Stack Developer. It's not mandatory that you should have a piece of strong knowledge in both Front-end and Back-end. It is enough to work with technologies in the front-end and back-end.

Skills Required for Full Stack Web Developer

This session covers the very important skills required as follows,

HTML
CSS
Bootstrap
JavaScript
jQuery
AJAX
Angular
C# (Where our logical operations take place. Here, we are considering .NET, so it's C#)
.NET Core
Database

HTML

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, used to create web pages. It is one of the most powerful languages for creating a website and is very simple to learn. The HTML elements are represented by Tags. Those tags are rendered as Page Content on the website. If you want to learn more about HTML, Please find an article about HTML Introduction on C#Corner here- HTML Introduction.

CSS

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet. It will add look and style to the HTML tags, and as a result, the site looks and feels good. We cannot do styling with HTML tags, so we have to use CSS. To learn more about CSS, find a detailed article here- Deep Dive With CSS- Introduction.

Bootstrap

It's a framework used for designing a website or web page. It contains HTML and CSS-based design templates. If you want to learn more about Bootstrap, Please find a detailed article about it here- Basics of Bootstrap.

JavaScript

JavaScript is an object-oriented scripting language. It is open-source and cross-platform. Mostly in Web applications, JavaScript is used on Client-Side (DOM). So, whenever the user clicks the submit button, the validation process is done. If the validation is true, it will be submitted to the web server. If you want to learn more about JavaScript, please go through this article on C#Corner- JavaScript Basics

jQuery

jQuery is a collection of JavaScript library functions. It is also open source, mostly designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML. The main purpose of jQuery is to provide an easy way to use JavaScript on websites to make them more interactive and attractive.

AJAX

Asynchronous JavaScript And XML (AJAX) is a technique for creating better, faster, and more interactive web applications with the help of XML, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Angular

Nowadays, Angular is also the most preferred skill among many companies for DOT NET Developers. So we should be strongly skilled in Angular as well. Angular is a platform that makes it easy to build applications on the web. Angular combines declarative templates, dependency injection, end-to-end tooling, and integrated best practices to solve development challenges.

C#

C# is an object-oriented language. In our web application, all the logical operations are carried out in this part. And also, our Database connectivity is done here. The complicated codes are run in C#.

.NET Core

The booming .NET technology is .NET Core. It is an Open Source general-purpose development platform that is maintained by Microsoft and the .NET Community. Some features of .NET Core,

Cross-platform
Consistent across architectures
Command-line tools
Flexible deployment
Compatible
Open source
Supported by Microsoft

Database

A database is a structured set of data held in a computer. There are many databases, such as MS-SQL Server, MySQL Server, and Oracle. Based on the requirement we have to choose.

Apart from the above-stated technologies, there are some new technologies that are also used for web application development. But you need not be a master of this; you need to know the basics since these are emerging technologies. You can use these based on your application requirements.

Added by editors [START]

One of the key reasons organizations hire full-stack developers is so one developer can do it all. Doing all means gathering requirements from business owner/user, converting those requirements into software, testing it, demoing it, and deploying it. Now, the role of a full-stack developer varies from organization to organization depending on several factors, such as the size of the organization, software development philosophy, team size, delivery cycles, and so on. Some product owners also like to control their way. But the general idea of being a full-stack developer is to do everything.

Visual Studio

Experience working with various features of Visual Studio (whichever version your team is using) is a must. Visual Studio is the most powerful IDE for developers. Knowing its toolset and how to use them helps developers save time and speed up development.

DevOps

A good full stack Web developer should understand the full development life cycle and how various DevOps tools are used in the development, including dev, testing, QA, deployment, and event configuring environments. At the end of the day, a company expects a full-stack developer to know everything, not just coding.

Testing

A full-stack developer should also be a good tester. Not only should they be able to test the functionality, but they should understand the performance and speed of a website, usability, and experience.

Software Design skills

Architects usually do software design, but in most projects that are small and where full-stack developers are deployed, developers usually end up doing it all. So, having software design and architecture skills is always helpful.

Version control

Code version control is another important skill to become a full-stack developer.

Communication and presentation

As mentioned earlier, a full-stack developer may need to communicate with application users and business owners and should have communication and presentation skills.

How to improve your skills to become a Full Stack Web Developer?

The best only way to become a Full Stack Web Developer is by doing practical experiments. First, learn the concept, then implement that one. Practice and practice! This is the only key to gaining programming knowledge.

Conclusion

As I stated earlier, you do not want to be the master of all technologies, but you need the capability to work on these technologies. I hope this article was useful. We'll see some other concepts in my next article.
