I’ll keep it quick. I want to be a fullstack scripter but I decided I will start doing front-end scripting first then learn back-end scripting later on. My problem is I don’t know what are all the scripting topics I need to learn to do so. Help will be greatly appreciated.

Theres really no such thing as a front-end scripter in roblox. With lua its pretty much either you can script or you can’t. Thats just how the language is. I mean unless you’re talking about only making obbys which case youre just changing properties and thats not even really scripting. I mean if all you’re considering back-end is like stat systems and analytics then its like thats such a small portion of scripting. What really are you even defining as back end? Ability creation? Pathfinding? like the language as a whole ties into itself most things you can just do if you’ve made something similar. Like for example you could probably make a fishing system if youve made lets say a bowling game. The scripting would be relatively similar. So if you wanna learn to script just start with the basics but there really is no such thing as just a “Front-end” or “Back-end” when it comes to programming in roblox.

I read a post a while back saying that the difference between front-end and back-end was front end is everything the user see like uis and skills and back end is everything that works from the background like data stores etc. That’s what led me to ask this question.

Well you’re free to only script ui’s but you wont get anywhere just doing that. Posts like that aren’t like “real” so to speak. As a programmer on roblox you should be able to do most things. stat systems arent hard to learn once you have a base level understanding of the basics in general. Like everything just ties in together. Front-end back-end is something that really only exists when youre talking about web development. Where in web development 1 person is exclusively working on the layout design aspects of the webpage using html/css very little java script. And the backend of web development would be using more javascript/php/sql esc.
See people see front-end and back-end in other forms of scripting and they try to tie it into roblox which confuses people. But in reality it just doesnt exist on the platform. No one hires a scripter for a big game just to only script ui. That doesnt exist. So just focus on actually learning the language and naturally youll learn everything.
