omom13598yI didn't knew that a full stack developer was just needing js + css.. before learning any language begin by learning the meaning of a 'full stack developer'
After that only you will have a real answer... :P sorry if I'm harsh -
SuryaK14038y@omomthings I realize that it's more than that. But I know that CSS and JS are pretty vast and important. so, I was wondering how much one should learn. Thanks
-
SuryaK14038yYeah, I'm learning backend. But I don't like front end that much. So I was wondering what it is to be a full stack

You need to be sure about what you are doing or at least you must have a plan what you want to do and an idea how to solve it. In my opinion you cant call yourself a fullstack dev when you have no idea how to style something like how you want it to look like or when you have no idea how to intract with elements in the way you want to.
Im not a fullstack dev tho. 🙃 -
@SuryaK Thats nice. I read yours just after that. I guess "full stack" means somewhat like advanced enough in front- and backend to get it running by your self without too much googling.

creator20158yAcc. to the current industry standards, A Full Stack Developer is someone who can master a complete stack which is normally a Web stack.
The most trending web stack currently is MEAN, but the most used (and abused and hated) is LAMP.
It basically means that you can create a complete web app including the backend (server), front end (client) and database part.
The front end is mostly a browser, but it can also be a mobile app. So if you know Android and Node.js + some database, or iOS and Firebase, you can be called a full stack 'mobile' developer.
Just knowing HTML, CSS and JS is not enough. Learn ReactJS or Angular for better opportunity in web front end and some Node.js, Django/Flask(Python) or Ruby on Rails for backend. For database knowing one RDBMS such as MySQL or Postgress and one nosql such as MongoDB, Redis or CouchDB is enough. Only then you'll be eligible for those Full Stack Developer jobs. -
Huuugo25058yI would expect you to know at least 90% of CSS 2.1, the most used parts of CSS 3, and all of vanilla JS including all the quirks. This is almost enough for calling yourself a junior front-end web dev.
