Difference between Java Developer and Full Stack Java Developer

By Admin

Introduction:

Java, a class-based, high-level, and object-oriented programming language, was first devised in 1995 by Sun Microsystems. It is based on the syntax of C and C++. It provides a large platform upon which many applications and services are built. Java is quick, secure, and versatile. Despite its legacy, Java is being used in today’s digital world to power a large set of services and applications. 

Who are Java Developers?

A programmer who is accountable for developing applications and software using Java as the programming language is a Java developer. These programs are further being used by software engineers, web developers, and others for developing business applications, websites, and more. 

A Java developer is not only responsible for developing an application but also works on its implementation and maintenance of Java-based software and applications in all stages of the lifecycle of the software development. They exhaustively analyze the user requirements, concoct system features, and define application functionality. Moreover, they also work on existing Java infrastructure and propose changes for upgrading it. 

Java is apt for operating more robust programming tasks than its front-end counterpart. Java is an incredible skill for back-end developers. Java supports object-oriented programs and can be run in any system that supports a Java virtual machine.

Projection Of Modern Programming Approach Towards Java-Environment

Roles of Java Developer
  • Responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining various Java-based applications.
  • Contributing to all phases of the development lifecycle.
  • Writing efficient, well-designed, and testable code.
  • Responsible for testing and debugging new applications and updates.
  • Organizing and producing releases of software components.
  • Maintaining up to date of code documentation.
What is Full Stack Java Development?

Full stack Java development is a process where a developer is authorized to develop both the front-end and the back-end development of an application. Both the server-side and client-side application development are done in full-stack Java development. The logics like JSP, Servlet, and JEE are involved in the development of both ends. 

Who is Full Stack Java Developers?

Full-stack Java developers are the programmers who are scarcely focused on building/maintaining web applications. In other words, they are responsible for building/maintaining web applications utilizing Java as a core language. It is also to be noted that to be a Full-Stack Java developer, they have to be proficient in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These languages are basic requirements for the front-end building of a web application. 

Roles of Full Stack Java Developer
  • Building end-to-end innovative software products/apps, which are dynamic and visually attractive.
  • Responsible for designing the user interaction, user experience, responsive design, and complete architecture.
  • Competent to work with databases, servers, version control systems, APIs, and third-party applications.
  • Deliver insight on persistent improvement and add/remove functionality as per needed. They are also responsible for testing and debugging the apps.
  • Keep updating with new tools, frameworks, architectures, and approaches in the world of development.
  • Responsible for transforming a conception to implementation of a product as per the need of the business.

Difference between Java developer and Full Stack Java developer

Java Developer
  • Usually focuses on the native apps that we may download in our system
  • Responsible for testing and ensuring that the product will run without any glitch.
  • Not responsible for client-side or server-side development.
  • Do not develop the API or program database.
  • Responsible for a particular aspect of the program only but not as a whole.
Full Stack Java Developer
  • Involved in the complete knowledge of front-end, middleware, and back-end development of an application
  • Act like multi-functional personalities.
  • Use technologies like Angular JS, Node JS, React, HTML, CSS, and Javascript to develop the front end of an application.
  • Aware of the back-end development ideas like Java, JSP, Spring, Servlet, JSF, Web-logic, Hibernate, etc.
  • Use front-end framework, API, to develop and deploy the concept.
Java Developer Skills
  • Java systems
  • Core Java skills
  • Java build tools

Salaries 

A Java developer in India earn a salary ranging from Rs 2 Lakhs to Rs 8.7 Lakhs with an average of Rs 4.2 Lakh.

A Java Full Stack developer in India earns a salary ranging from Rs 2.9 Lakhs to Rs 15 Lakhs with an average of Rs 6 Lakhs.

Conclusion

In recent years, the IT industry witnessed one of the most remarkable swift growth, which evoked the growth of other industries too. This growth is further enhanced during the pandemic of 2020. Technology and technological innovations were set in the battle of unplanned setbacks. Every people in every corner of the world were dependent on online communications. Not only people but industries including education were hanging on one or another application. The reliable codes created by Java developers help to stay connected and work together despite living oceans apart. 

From the above discussions, it can be concluded that Java is the core language in many applications. As technology advances the demand for Java developers grows. The future scope for them is always bright. 

Java development is a subset of Full Stack Java Development. Before becoming a Full Stack Java Developer, one has to be proficient in Java development.
