Welcome to the NNEST Interest Section Website! We're glad you're
here.
As the NNEST CAUCUS we had a great 10 years, and our thanks to
all the Caucus Members and all the Caucus Leaders who lead us so well and so
far. We must particularly mention all the Caucus
Presidents: George Braine, Jun Liu, Lia Kamhi-Stein, Paul Matsuda, Masaki
Oda, Ahmar Mahboob, Lucie Moussu, Karen Newman, Luciana C. de Oliveira.
Now, as the NNEST INTEREST SECTION, with new roles, new
orientations on research, and new areas for outreach, we will work hard to
achieve the same kind of success that the Caucus had and we hope you'll join us
in making that happen. It is very important to us that the Interest Section find
ways to maintain the sense of community, the support for member publication, and
the commitment to developing new leaders that so characterized the Caucus. Those
are some big shoes to fill, but together we can manage it.
Over the next few months as the transition from Caucus to
Interest Section occurs, we may need some help from you--engaging in processes
like indicating that you want to be an NNEST Interest Section Member (and we
hope you'll decide to make the NNEST IS your primary Interest Section), and
participating in Interest Section elections (which we intend to carry out online
in February so new officers will be ready to lead at the TESOL Convention in
Denver). When we have guidance from Central Office on such matters we will let
you know as soon as we can--your participation gives our Interest Section all
its meaning..
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, don't hesitate
to contact us--we'll do our best to help

sana21 on 30 Sep 21Full-stack development is becoming a vital post as many professionals, as well as companies, realize its value. Thanks to its self-explanatory title, the full-stack developer skills do take time to hone and therefore promise heaps of profits. First, let's look at what it means. What is meant by full-stack development? Full-stack development is a skill set owned by a developer that can work around a project's both front and back ends. It allows them to handle clients, servers, and databases. Different kinds of stacks are used depending on the requirements, some of these are listed below: 1. Ruby on Rails (PHP, SQLite, Ruby) 2. Lamp stack (MySQL, Linux, PHP, and Apache) 3. Mean stack (Angular JS, MongoDB, Node.js, Express) Why become a full-stack developer? There are plenty of reasons why being a full stack developer would benefit you in the long run mentioned here: 1. High recruitment There is a huge demand for the skills owned by a full-stack developer. The reason is simple, as they are expected to 1. Cover presentation aspects 2. Work on logic 3. Handle databases In the last 2 years, the demand has risen up to 20%, so has the full-stack developer salary in India alongside it, making them a lucrative prospect for current IT students. 2. Not hard to learn The nature of their job is to be an all-rounder, not a specialist. A student just needs enough motivation in the web development arena to learn multiple skills and get started. 3. Wide portfolio What's more inspiring is that students don't need to go to a university to land a job, companies are willing to accept capable candidates who are skilled with a wide-ranging portfolio. However, it's best to learn by opting for a specialized full-stack developer course from a reputable institute. 4. No dependencies This is a job that doesn't need much cooperation with others as far as the back and front end development are concerned. A full-stack developer's skills range widely: 1. HTML DOM 2.
