CSS Basics:

Selectors:

 Element Selector: Styles specific HTML elements (e.g., p, h1).


 Class Selector: Styles elements with a specific class (e.g., .highlight).
 ID Selector: Styles individual elements with unique IDs (e.g., #main-
header).

Specificity:

 Determines which styles take precedence.


 Example: .highlight overrides p if both have conflicting styles.

Units:

 Measurement units in CSS (e.g., px, %, em).


 Example: width: 50%; sets an element's width relative to its parent.

Responsive Design:

Media Queries:

 Adjusts styles for different devices or screen sizes.


 Example: @media (max-width: 768px) { ... } for smaller screens.

Advanced CSS:

Preprocessors:

 Sass, LESS extend CSS with variables, nesting, etc.


 Example (Sass): $primary-color: blue; body { color: $primary-color; }

Frameworks:
 Bootstrap, Foundation offer pre-built components and styles.
 Example: <button class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>

Methodologies:

 BEM (Block, Element, Modifier) for organized CSS classes.


 Example: .card__title--large { font-size: 20px; }
 Compatibility & Optimization:

Vendor Prefixes:

 Ensure consistent appearance across browsers.


 Example: -webkit-border-radius: 5px; for WebKit browsers.

Performance Optimization:

 CSS Minification reduces file size for faster loading.


 Example: Original: .container { margin: 10px; }
Minified: .container{margin:10px;}
 CSS Sprites combine multiple images into one for fewer server
requests.

Testing & Debugging:

 Cross-Browser Testing ensures functionality across browsers and


devices.
 Example: Checking website appearance and functionality in different
browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari).

Understanding these concepts contributes to efficient, organized, and


visually appealing web designs, ensuring better performance and user
experience in web development.

Full-stack development refers to the practice of working on both the front-
end and back-end parts of a web application or software. A full-stack
developer is proficient in handling all aspects of development, from
designing user interfaces to managing databases and servers.

Components of Full-Stack Development:

Front-End (Client-Side):

 HTML/CSS/JavaScript: Building and styling the user interface that


users interact with.
 Frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue.js): Streamlining and
managing complex UI components.
 UI/UX Design: Ensuring a user-friendly and visually appealing
interface.

Back-End (Server-Side):

 Server Languages (e.g., Node.js, Python, Ruby): Handling server-


side logic, server configuration, and APIs.
 Databases (e.g., SQL, NoSQL): Storing, retrieving, and managing
data efficiently.
 Server Management: Deployment, server-side security, and
scalability.

DevOps and Version Control:

 Git/GitHub: Version control for collaborative development.


 Deployment Tools: Understanding deployment and continuous
integration tools like Jenkins, Docker, or AWS.

Responsibilities of a Full-Stack Developer:


 Design & Front-End Development: Creating user-friendly interfaces,
ensuring responsiveness across devices.
 Back-End Development: Handling server-side logic, databases, and
server management.
 Integration & APIs: Building and managing APIs that connect front-
end and back-end systems.
 Testing & Debugging: Ensuring functionality, identifying and
resolving bugs across the application.
 Project Management: Handling projects from conception to
deployment, sometimes coordinating with teams.

Advantages of Full-Stack Development:

 Versatility: Ability to work on different aspects of a project.


 Holistic Understanding: Better understanding of the entire
development process.
 Efficiency: Facilitates smoother communication and collaboration
within teams.
 Sole Ownership: Capability to handle projects independently from
start to finish.

A full-stack developer possesses a broad skill set, allowing them to work


flexibly across various technologies and handle diverse aspects of web
application development.
