Who Is A Fullstack Developer?

Full Stack Developer:

Full stack developer is a Software Engineer.

Why We Need Full Stack Developer?

Application development is not an easy task. You need several skills to make a product. The skills are

1. Web Designer
2. Front end developer
3. Backend developer
4. Database Admin

And many more

If a web designer takes 30,000PKR

Front-end Developer takes 40,000PKR

Backend-Developer takes 60,000 PKR

Database Admin takes 40,000 PKR

It is 170,000PKR/month

Why not hire a single resource having all these skills and pay him 80,000 or 100,000PKR/month. You save 70,000PKR/month

This is why companies hire Full Stack Resource.

Full stack means you must have worked in design, development, database, git version control for change management and server side tools and technologies.
