Full stack = Frontend + Backend Frontend = Think Consumer. He's the one that uses the backend, typically via browser. In the browser world, you have HTML + CSS + Javascript (add stuff like MVC framework, JS library etc). All these interact with backend to query or persist data on the backend Backend - Think producer. Typically these are your servers. Bunch of those actually. You will have servers to simple serve the HTML/CSS and other assets as well as database to persist data. They can be built on a language of your choice - but these days Javascript since you can write both frontend and backend in the same language.

I think the simplest way to think fullstack is to think of an end-to-end experience and list all the components.
