Why a Full-stack Engineer role has become the most demanded job role

Full-stack developers should master the basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript languages and once they master these languages, they need to understand the new-age development areas such as:

• • For potent back-end architecture, full-stack developers must be accomplished in the programming languages such as Python, Java, PHP, .Net, and Ruby
  • Database languages like Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, are among the most anticipated languages in today’s development market
  • Having iOS and Android development platforms understanding as part of their skill portfolio will help them understand the mobile development intricacies
  • Full-stack developers with operational understanding of MongoDB, Machine learning, Scala and Amazon cloud are perceived as experts by companies that are looking for senior specialist roles

Full-stack developers are highly needed across start-ups since they possess a varied skill-set and have the capability of independently working on a project, thereby helping reduce operation costs. Tech Giants like Intel, IBM, Microsoft and Google have partnered with universities like University of Columbia and Cornwell University to hire fresh full-stack developer. The universities, after seeing this trend have made changes to the computer science programs and inculcated courses and certifications to address the skill demand gap.
