The web development world is becoming more and more complex these days and the amount of knowledge you need to know in this profession is huge. It is not possible to know everything and developers usually specialise in specific programming languages and frameworks.

Web development divisions

The main two groups of web developers are front end and back end developers. This makes a lot of sense, especially these days, where there are many different languages and technologies on both sides. It is a good idea to specialise in a certain area of web development and front and back development areas are clear and easy to follow. At the same time being a full stack web developer makes a lot of sense too. This gives you the flexibility of working on your own as a freelancer for example, or for a small company when you usually have to be the jack of all trades if you want to succeed.

Full-stack web developers seem to have the ultimate amount of knowledge about a wide range of technologies. Is there something thought that requires even more knowledge than the full-stack? Well in my opinion there is.
