This book offers comprehensive coverage of the various technologies and techniques used to
build technical products. You will learn how technical product development is collaboratively
done across multiple technical teams primarily those in software engineering data engineering
and AI ML engineering. You will also be introduced to the technologies these teams use to
develop features and products. Many roles in the organization work alongside these technical
product development teams and act as liaisons between them the stakeholders the customers
and the leadership team. The people in these roles must understand technical aspects ranging
from system design to artificial intelligence and be able to engage in technical discussions
with the engineering teams to determine the pros cons and risks associated with the
development of a technology product or feature. Technical Building Blocks will help you master
these technical skills. The book has just the right level of technical details to neither
overwhelm with unnecessary technical depth nor be superficial. From concepts to code snippets
authors Gaurav Sagar and Vitalii Syrovatskyi cover it all to give you an understanding of the
engineer's mind and their work. Special emphasis on figures and charts will help you grasp
complex ideas more quickly. After reading this book you'll be able to effectively communicate
with engineering teams provide valuable inputs in the system design review meetings of
upcoming features and products synthesize and simplify technical updates for cross-functional
teams and stakeholders and pass those dreaded technical interviews at your dream companies.
What You Will Learn Intrinsic details of the teams and techniques used for product development
