Top skills required for full stack developer jobs
Let’s now explore the key skills that companies are looking for in full stack developers designers. The following chart has been created by looking at the frequently occurring words in the job description field of the job listings. Of course, we have removed stop words such as ‘development’, ‘stack’ and ‘software’.
Clearly different types of web technologies such as browser stacks, JavaScript frameworks, Python frameworks, are given importance.
Given below are the key skills:
React
It is interesting to see that React has more frequency than JavaScript, although React is actually a JavaScript library. It is maintained by Facebook and a community of individual developers and companies. React can be used as a base in the development of single-page or mobile applications, as it is optimal for fetching rapidly changing data that needs to be recorded.
JavaScript
Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the core technologies of the World Wide Web. It enables interactive web pages and is an essential part of web applications. The vast majority of websites use it, and major web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine to execute it. It has curly-bracket syntax, dynamic typing, prototype-based object-orientation, and first-class functions.
Agile development
Agile software development refers to a group of software development methodologies based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams. The primary value of Agile development is that it enables teams to deliver value faster, with greater quality and predictability, and greater aptitude to respond to change.
AWS
Amazon Web Services is a subsidiary of Amazon that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies, and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis.
As of 2017, AWS owns a dominant 34% of all cloud (IaaS, PaaS) while the next three competitors Microsoft, Google, and IBM have 11%, 8%, 6% respectively according to Synergy Group.
Angular
Angular is a structural framework for dynamic web apps. It lets developers use HTML as the template language and extend HTML’s syntax to express the application’s components clearly and succinctly. AngularJS’s data binding and dependency injection eliminate much of the code a programmer would otherwise have to write. And it all happens within the browser, making it an ideal partner with any server technology.
Node
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform, JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser. Node.js lets developers use JavaScript to write command-line tools and for server-side scripting—running scripts server-side to produce dynamic web page content before the page is sent to the user’s web browser.
Consequently, Node.js represents a “JavaScript everywhere” paradigm, unifying web application development around a single programming language, rather than different languages for server- and client-side scripts.
Conclusion
We looked at the top skills, important cities for full stack developers along with major industries and job growth over time. The visualizations show that top cities are Sydney and Melbourne. Also, the top industries hiring for full stack developers are computers, IT, banking and healthcare. The most important skills for this job role are web technologies, React, JavaScript, Agile methodology, and AWS.
