Alan lead some team training again this morning. See attached for a copy of the recording. We had Alan, Bryan, Danny, Dustin, Josh, Steve, and myself in the training session. We covered recursion (interloping functions and/or self calling functions) and got into closures as well. Some of these are somewhat advanced techniques. Along with that, we lightly talked about base cases, how to jump our of recursion processes, map, reduce, filter, each, stacks, queues, and other programming options.

We spent some time talking about FILO (first in last out), LIFO (last in first out), and FIFO (first in first out) operations. These are pretty common in computer programming and how to loop through various records. As a fun side note, those same terms are used in accounting and inventory tracking on how to account for items being moved through a company. Interesting.

We did some light dives into the underlying Java libraries and using Java stacks (arrays). Alan went over some options and member functions like push, pop, size, etc. We also talked about using built-in member functions to help format and string things together in modern script languages.
