I'm feeling like a bit of a spammer posting about this so often, but I think it's just coming up so often because it's a real need.

I've started writing a series of posts about the fundamentals of full-stack development. It came out of what I have been explaining some students I have been mentoring recently.

My goal is to explain the different layers, the concepts at play in them, and how they interact with each other.

"It's a roadmap, not a recipe book". The format is going to end up being similar to this post about microservices I built.
