Summary

Code development makes up a large portion of the deliverable work in a tech industry project or program. As a TPM, we are responsible for this work, though do not do this work ourselves. To ensure that we are successful in our role, we discussed the styles of programming that are most in use right now—OOP and functional programming. We learned that many languages allow for a mixture of the two styles in the same code base and that certain styles have benefits for particular tasks.

We learned about data structures that are commonly used and how their performance is measured using space and time complexities expressed through big O notation. We learned about simple list-based structures as well as more abstract structures, such as a graph that represents non-linear, unstructured, and complexly interrelated data.

Lastly, we discussed both creational and structural design patterns, which are foundational to feature and system designs. As such, these patterns will...
