Learn Object Oriented Programming in Python

Use classes when they help, skip the complexity when they don't, and learn OOP as a practical way to organize code.

What will you learn?

Learn the fundamentals of the most widely-used programming paradigm today: object-oriented programming. You will model real-world problems within your programs, and learn how to write code that is easy to understand and maintain. By the end of this course you'll be writing production-quality Python code.

Chapter List

1
Clean Code
Understand why we have programming paradigms in the first place, and how they help us write more maintainable code
2
Classes
Learn about classes and objects, and how OOP differs from a functional programming paradigm.
3
Encapsulation
Learn how to write cleaner code by encapsulating data and methods.
4
Abstraction
Abstraction is a powerful tool that will make your code more robust and reusable.
5
Inheritance
The crux of OOP is the ability to inherit data and behaviors from other classes
6
Polymorphism
Polymorphism is one of the best ideas we've had as developers, learn how it works.

Tough course, at some points felt like I wasn't smart enough to continue it but learned all the essentials of OOP by the end.

Similar to first python course in that it babys you a little too much. You can come out of this course having barely ever written your own code from a blank canvas.

The assignment involving coordinates—specifically the dragons and their coordinates—made me cry.

Good reminder of how OOP works, plus I never did it in Python before

My favorite class so far. This course challenged me far more than the Intro to Python course and it eased off the hand-holding in a way that let me think harder about solving the logic puzzles.
