Mumbai: There is a 20 percent growth in demand for 'full stack developers' compared to last year as companies look for multi-skilled professionals, according to a report.

A full stack developer is someone who can work on both the front-end and back-end portions of an application. The full stack development process involves work with all three layers of development - presentation layer, business logic layer and the database layer.

While a front-end developer is a programmer who codes and creates the features that are directly accessible by the end user, back-end developers build the core functional logic and operations of the application.The report by predictive hiring solution provider Belong has revealed full stack developers in India on the front end side are normally skilled in JQuery, HTML5, CSS and Javascript while on the backend stack are familiar with RubyOn Rails, Python, Java or PHP and multiple databases like SQL, MongoDB among others.[caption id="attachment_1374279" align="alignleft" width="380"]
