Mobile System Design Preparation

What we will cover:

• Requirement Discovery: How to clarify ambiguous prompts and define the scope (Functional vs. Non-Functional requirements).
• High-Level Architecture: Designing the interaction between the UI, Business Logic, Networking, and Local Storage layers.
• Deep Dives into Mobile-Specific Challenges:
  • Data Persistence & Syncing: Offline-first strategies, conflict resolution, and caching mechanisms.
  • Networking & Optimization: Handling flaky connections, pagination, image loading, and polling vs. web sockets.
  • Modularization: Breaking down a monolith into testable, reusable modules and managing dependencies.
  • Performance & Reliability: Minimizing main-thread work, memory management, and monitoring (Logging/Analytics).
• Communication & Trade-offs: Practicing how to justify your choices (e.g., Why this local database over another? or Why this specific architectural pattern?).
