We'll cover the following...
By completing the lessons on foundational API design problems, we have equipped ourselves to tackle more advanced design problems. Let's use the foundational design problems for specific functionalities of the advanced design problems. We chose each of these design problems based on the uniqueness of different functionalities. Each functionality leads to a focus on a different design aspect, as we’ll see in the upcoming chapters of the course.
The design problems we will cover in this course
We have listed each design problem expanded on in this course below:
