A Full Stack Developer is the jack-of-all-trades of the software engineering world. They have the expertise to work on both the front-end (the part of the application users interacts with) and the backend (the server-side, databases, and application infrastructure). In simpler terms:
- Front-end: This is where the visual aspect of the application comes to life. It involves designing user interfaces, ensuring responsiveness across devices, and enhancing user experience.
- Back-end: This is the engine room of any application. It’s where data is stored, retrieved, and processed. It ensures that everything on the front-end has the necessary data and resources to function correctly. Together, the front-end and back-end comprises of a full “stack” of software elements.

Programme Graduates
Hear from Gazali
Meet Gazali, a #GenAlumni from our train-and-place Jr Full Stack Developer programme.
Having spent six years of his life on the road as a driver, Gazali was bored. Even at 53, he knew that there was a purpose behind his fascination with technology — and he was done letting it go to waste. In 2021, he courageously made a career change into tech in spite of his initial apprehensions because of his age.
While we no longer provide apprenticeships, we still offer holistic employment support for six months after completion of the bootcamp to help graduates best secure a position.
Generation program graduates will also be supported by volunteer mentors and/or buddies who will assist in resume refining and interview coaching. These additional sessions may help you to perform competently during interviews.
