Hi i was browsing a separate ASK HN question and saw someone mention a full stack website, and i've heard of full stack devs but never a 'full stack website'<p>is there a single composition of the components of a full stack website? Or does it vary?<p>Ask thread that mentions a full stack website: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16800510
That term is unusual enough that I've never seen it.<p>So-called full-stack developers are people who build the back-end (server side) as well as the user-facing front-end (client side). As far as I know, it only refers to web development, so the client will usually be a browser or native app.<p>Based on context, it seems like "full-stack website" means a website that has some business logic on the back-end. This would be distinct from a static site.<p>(A "static" site does technically have a back-end, but it would just be serving flat HTML/JS/CSS files that are unmodified.)
