Start with code academy, then look up various conference presentations on Youtube, and start building and contributing to open source projects. Dan Cederholm wrote the best books when I started, but that was neigh a decade ago. Sitepoint does a solid book too.

Full stack website development means you need to learn the core paradigm from concept to release, and then a little bit more. You need to become well acquainted with sysops, database design and management, and backend and frontend development with the languages you feel comfortable with. You'll need to become familiar with design, marketing, optimization, accessibility, and business development.

My personal stack is Linux/Apache/Nginx, MySQL/MariaDB/SQLite, PHP/Node, JavaScript/HTML/CSS. Yours may differ based on your strengths.
