Subject: Full Stack Java Programming (2343611)
Assignment Questions Based on Module I & II
1. Explain what Full Stack Development means and describe its main components
(Frontend, Backend, Database, and DevOps). In your answer, highlight the role of a Full
Stack Developer and the essential skills required.
Full Stack Development means building a complete web application, which includes both the
front-end (what the user sees) and the back-end (server, database, logic).
- Frontend: User interface (UI) built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Angular, React, etc.
- Backend: Handles business logic and server-side code using Java, Python, [Link], etc.
- Database: Stores data, e.g., MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle.
- DevOps: Deployment and management of applications using tools like Docker, Jenkins, AWS.
Role of Full Stack Developer: Works on both frontend and backend, connects UI with server and
database, and deploys applications.
Skills: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java/Python, SQL/NoSQL databases, Git, DevOps basics.
2. With reference to Java technologies, distinguish between JVM, JDK, and JRE.
- JVM (Java Virtual Machine): Runs Java bytecode and makes Java platform independent.
- JRE (Java Runtime Environment): Contains JVM + libraries to run Java programs.
- JDK (Java Development Kit): Contains JRE + tools like compiler, debugger, to develop Java
programs.
In short:
- JDK = JRE + Development tools
- JRE = JVM + Libraries
- JVM = Runs Java bytecode
3. Discuss the significance of Java EE in enterprise applications. In your explanation,
describe the multi-tier architecture and MVC pattern, clearly outlining the responsibilities of
the Model, View, and Controller layers with examples.
- Java EE (Jakarta EE): A set of specifications for building large-scale, secure, enterprise-level
apps (like banking, e-commerce). Supports web services, APIs, and distributed applications.
Multi-tier Architecture:
1. Client Tier: User interface (browser, mobile app).
2. Presentation Tier: Frontend using JSP/Servlets.
3. Business Tier: Application logic using EJBs, Spring, etc.
4. Data Tier: Database like Oracle/MySQL.
MVC Pattern:
- Model: Handles data (e.g., database classes).
- View: Displays information (JSP/HTML).
- Controller: Connects model and view (Servlets/Spring controllers).
Example: In a shopping site, Model = Product class, View = HTML page, Controller = Servlet
fetching product list.
4. Explain the structure of an HTML5 document. Describe the purpose of semantic elements
such as <header>, <article>, and <footer>.
Basic HTML5 structure:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head> <title>Page Title</title> </head>
<body>
<header>Header section</header>
<article>Main content</article>
<footer>Footer section</footer>
</body>
</html>
Semantic elements:
- <header>: Top section, contains title, navigation.
- <article>: Independent content like blog post or news article.
- <footer>: Bottom section, contains copyright, links, contact info.
5. Give an example of how lists, tables, and hyperlinks can be used within a webpage.
Example:
<ul>
<li>HTML</li>
<li>CSS</li>
<li>Java</li>
</ul>
<table border="1">
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Marks</th></tr>
<tr><td>Amit</td><td>85</td></tr>
<tr><td>Rita</td><td>90</td></tr>
</table>
<a href="[Link] Google</a>
6. Compare CSS Grid and Bootstrap Grid systems.
- CSS Grid:
* Pure CSS layout system.
* Flexible and allows custom designs.
* No external library needed.
* Good for complex layouts.
- Bootstrap Grid:
* Predefined classes (like .row, .col-md-6).
* Quick and responsive design.
* Requires Bootstrap library.
* Easier for beginners.
In short: CSS Grid = custom control, Bootstrap Grid = fast and ready-made.
