> 'Front End' if you're good with JS, MV*, HTML/CSS.... and 'Back End' if you understand DB concepts & scalability or architecture stuff It's been my experience as a front-end developer that you need to understand the entire stack. From the wireframes to the database. Perhaps this is a "full-stack" developer to some, but there's been an increase in the amount of "front-end developer" job postings that require you understand every aspect of the application. If the user will eventually see that data, then it's the responsibility of the front-end developer, this includes all information stored in the database and the ability to store, manipulate, and create that data.
