Why full-stack web development is the future of web applications

Why full-stack development is the future of web apps

Let's set the stage with a cliché: software development is constantly evolving towards ever higher levels of abstraction. We have object-oriented and functional programming built on top of imperative programming on top of assembler on top of machine code. Each new paradigm starts with some rough edges that are gradually refined to a point where it's a solid foundation for the next paradigm. This is also what's been happening with full-stack development for web applications.

Psst... Watch our recent webinar with Leif Åstrand, where we discuss why full-stack development is the future of web applications, and how Vaadin empowers developers to build modern, scalable solutions with ease.
