A programmer who can code both front-end and back-end parts of a web application is called a full-stack web developer. This includes logical processes, database processes, user validation, server configuration and many other essential parts. No one can expect a full-stack developer to be an expert in all areas of front-ends and back-ends. The person should be familiar with all the technologies involved and be able to understand the processes within the entire application.

Step 1: Learn the front-end languages first. Because it's easier but extremely essential.

HTML/ CSS:

HTML is the tool that helps developers enter content into a website and CSS is a design tool that is used to change the look of web applications.

Javascript:

This can be used in front-end and back-end processes. Browsers rely on this and JavaScript can also be used as a server-side language connector.

After you have mastered HTML / CSS and JavaScript, you should learn at least one language used to code backend processes.

Step 2: Back-end language.

Knowledge of programming concepts can help improve back-end ...
... programming skills. Some knowledge to acquire before moving forward are:

Servers and how they work
Networks and common nuances
Web hosting environments
Algorithms and their formulation
Data structures (types, properties and use)
Programming techniques
Databases and their management

Step 3: Familiarize yourself with all the technologies, but master one.

As the scope of your learning expands, you will find that there is much more to learn than you can possibly master. Master one and understand the rest, learn how to work on it and that should be enough.

Step 4: Try live projects.

The hardest part of the process is gaining an in-depth understanding of all the required technologies - HTML / CSS, JavaScript, back-end programming, databases and HTTP/ REST. It's time to put all this knowledge into one app. Theoretical knowledge can be acquired by reading documents online, but to fully understand the architecture of the application, you need to implement a real web application.

Step 5: Save additional homework.
