Knowledge MaxxingFull-stack application
A full-stack application combines both frontend and backend development, with one team or codebase responsible for the complete user-facing and server-side experience.
Prerequisite: Backend
What matters
Working full-stack requires understanding how data and requests flow between both layers, since a bug or design decision on one side often has direct consequences for the other.
Example
A developer building a full-stack application might write the interface in React and the API it calls in the same project, coordinating both sides directly.
Common misconception
Being full-stack does not mean equal expertise in every layer; it means being capable of working across both, often with more depth in one than the other.

Why does working full-stack require understanding both frontend and backend together?
