Presentation
Working together, learning together: How front-end and full-stack developers can empower each other
While full-stack developers and front-end developers require an understanding of different tool sets, the ability to work in tandem is crucial to the productivity of a team. This talk will discuss ways in which full-stack engineers and front-end engineers can work together as well as the methods of communication that can empower each member to feel that they have enough support to complete their tasks while also learning from one another. It will also provide first-hand experiences in both successful and unsuccessful forms of co-mentoring which will provide insight regarding supporting developers of all backgrounds both new and experienced.
