Full stack web development includes the backend that happens on a server and the frontend that happens on a web browser. New tools are making it easier than ever to create a full stack web app.
We just published a full stack web development course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel. And the best part: it can all be done in a browser using Gitpod.
Mike Nikles developed this course. Mike is a senior developer at Gitpod and a great teacher.
This course covers everything from creating a new repository to deploying to production, and you will learn the reason for every line of code. The Svelte JavaScript framework is used for the frontend with Postgres as the database. The app is deployed using Vercel and Railway.
