# 🌐 Full Stack Development

> Build production web apps on Launchpad with HTML, CSS, React JS, Node JS, MongoDB, and cloud deployment through a hands-on AWS hackathon.

The Full Stack track on Launchpad walks you through building complete web applications, from your first HTML page to a deployed production service. You will pick up frontend, backend, database, and cloud skills in one continuous path so your portfolio and your interview answers line up.

## Frontend Development

Start with the languages of the browser and move into a modern component framework:

* **HTML and CSS** for structure, layout, and responsive styling.
* **React JS** for building interactive, component-driven interfaces.

You can prototype and test your frontend code directly in the [Code Playground](/practice/code-playground) without any local setup.

## Backend and Databases

Once your UI is solid, learn to power it with a real backend:

* **Node JS** for building server-side JavaScript applications and APIs.
* **MongoDB** for storing and querying application data.

If you want deeper database fundamentals, pair this section with the [Databases](/courses/databases) course.

## Deployment and Production

Shipping is where full stack work becomes real:

* Learn how to package and deploy your applications so they run beyond your laptop.
* Put it all together in an **AWS hackathon** where you deploy an end-to-end project to the cloud.

<Info>
  The AWS hackathon is a milestone project inside the Full Stack track, giving you a portfolio-ready deployment you can point interviewers to.
