When I first heard the term "full stack engineer," I was excited and a little confused. At that time, my understanding of the full stack was only front-end and back-end, which felt quite abstract, until I began to learn, I realized that full stack engineers not only do front-end and back-end, but also need to understand database management, project deployment, and even some operation and maintenance related skills. My goal was to go from not knowing code at all to being able to develop a complete project on my own, and this training helped me make the transition. From learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript at the very beginning, and then coming into contact with React and Vue frameworks, I was gradually able to design front-end pages that were both beautiful and useful. For example, doing an e-commerce page can achieve classification screening and real-time update shopping cart, and seeing their written things can interact with users; the sense of accomplishment is indescribable.
Then the back-end development, I learned Node.js and Spring Boot, learned how to create RESTful APIs, do user authentication, and perform other functions. When doing a user management system, I independently completed the user registration, login, rights management, and other modules, and implemented the database model by myself, which gave me a feeling of "I can do it". In the database part, I learned the contents of SQL and NoSQL, and operated from MySQL to MongoDB. I made a blog system, the article classification, comment functions are done, and then also tried to do some data statistics and analysis, and optimize the efficiency of the database. The latter part of the course focused on project rollout, where I learned how to use Docker for containerized deployment and how CI/CD tools can help automate releases.
The most fulfilling part is to deploy a social platform to the cloud server, configured with load balancing and automatic scaling. The whole process is quite complicated, but to see it run, just understand how complete the work of full-stack engineers is. In addition to technology, there is a special focus on teamwork. Our team built an online learning platform, each of us was responsible for a module, and I was responsible for the user interaction part.
Through this project, I learned how to communicate with the team and assign tasks, and the overall efficiency of cooperation was also improved. After the training, I not only mastered the skills from the front end to the back end, but also looked at a project from the overall perspective, made a complete function by myself, and also wrote several actual projects on my resume.
