Organize Destin's 'other skills' contribution and propose several new pages to contain the whole. #22

In his rework of the full stack (Issue #19 Destin came up with a significant list of other skills. I will copy his text here so we have a good record of it.

I think there should be some structure added to organize this as several of them are interrelated. This is a good list for future development of our site. This issue is a call for a review and discussion, that should lead to the creation of several other enhancement issues.

In the mean time, I leave his text here:

Web design involves creating the visual appearance, layout, and overall user experience of websites. It encompasses various elements such as color scheme, typography, imagery, navigation, and functionality to create an engaging and user-friendly interface. Web designers use a combination of design principles, coding languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), and design tools (like Adobe XD, Sketch, Figma) to bring their ideas to life. Effective web design aims to not only attract visitors but also provide them with a seamless and intuitive browsing experience.

Database management skills are required for full-stack developers, though it is part of the skills needed for back-end web development. A full-stack developer should be able to design, understand, and manipulate database queries and web storage.

Database Selection:Common choices include relational databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite, as well as NoSQL databases like MongoDB or Redis, each offering different advantages depending on factors such as scalability, data structure, and performance needs.

Database Design: Understanding database design principles is essential for creating efficient and scalable databases. This involves defining tables, establishing relationships between entities, and optimizing the database schema for performance.

Query Optimization: Writing efficient database queries is crucial for improving application performance. As a full-stack developer, you should optimize queries by using indexes, avoiding unnecessary joins, and leveraging database features like query caching and stored procedures.

ORM (Object-Relational Mapping): ORM frameworks like Sequelize for Node.js or Hibernate for Java simplify database interactions by abstracting away the complexities of SQL queries. They allow developers to work with database entities as objects, making it easier to manage data within the application code.

Data Migration and Versioning: As applications evolve, database schemas may need to be updated. Understanding how to perform data migration and versioning safely is important to avoid data loss or corruption during updates.

Data Security: Full-stack developers need to implement proper security measures to protect sensitive data stored in databases. This includes using encryption, authentication, and authorization mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.

Scaling and Performance Optimization: As applications grow, database performance becomes critical. Full-stack developers should be familiar with techniques such as database sharding, replication, and caching to scale databases horizontally and improve performance under heavy loads.

Backup and Recovery: Implementing regular database backups and having a robust disaster recovery plan in place is essential to ensure data integrity and minimize downtime in case of unexpected failures.

For good ergonomics of the page, I would suggest that we create a new page for that

or a very synthetic way because I think it is useful for our readers even as information.
