Expert Solution

Step 1: Choose a tech stack

While there are many languages/frameworks to pick and choose, here are the major decision points based on current industry trends:

Front end frameworks - Angular vs React
Back end languages - Java (Spring) vs. Node.js (Express)
Database - mySQL vs Mongo DB

You can either pick MEAN/MERN stack which is a complete JavaScript based stack to build applications or Java(Spring) + React/Angular for building web applications. But the important point here is to stick to the stack and build experience and proficiency in the same.

We’ve observed that majority of startups which are looking for faster implementations and working on low scale/internal products choose the MEAN/MERN stack but majority of the enterprise applications which are complex and handle large scale, JAVA is still the preferred back-end language.

While we also observe huge demand for Python, this is majorly due to the extensive usage of Python for Data Sciences and Machine Learning but not much on Web development front.

Step 2: Find a good mentor

While you can find tons of content outside to learn different languages, the rarest commodity is finding a mentor who is going to help you with this upskilling journey.

Find yourselves a mentor (preferably a senior software engineer/architect in your company) to guide you in your code reviews to improve your code quality/engineering craft.

Step 3: Build applications

With multiple free and open-source tools available out there, all you need is a good laptop, internet connection and loads to time and effort from your side to start building applications. You’ve literally run out of excuses to not build applications now, so go build few applications right away!

Be cognizant in picking the applications you want to build as the application use case should be relevant to the majority of the domain use cases like e-commerce, Banking and Finance, Supply Chain etc. so that companies looking to hire you would find relevant software development experience.

Create a kick-ass Github portfolio by building these applications and also contributing to a lot of open-source projects in Github.

Step 4: Prepare for that dream job interview to be a Full Stack Developer

Prepare for the interview - refresh your data structures and algorithms concepts
Start working on HackerRank/Hackerearth coding challenges
Prepare a solid, crisp and impactful resume - clearly mention the projects/applications you’ve built, your Github link, Hackerrank/Hackerearth profiles
Leverage your connections/network to know about the openings in the target company
Understand the role, the technology the company works on, the kind of the business problems the company is trying to solve and figure out whether that interests you or not
Get mock interview practice through your mentor/friends

1. Implement the stack abstract data type. Write it as a separate class called Stack. For simplicity the data type to be stored in the stack is String but you can also use generic type. 2. Test your class implementation by calling push() and pop(). If the stack is empty (size equals zero) pop() should return null and print that “stack is empty”. If stack is full (size equals max) push() returns false and prints that “stack is full”. This...
