Learn Object Oriented Programming in Python

Object-oriented programming is a pattern for organizing code that's critical whether or not you plan to make use of inheritance. Understand its most important tenets.

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.

A pretty good course in object oriented programming, but some of the training excercises feel very vague in how they describe what needs to be done. Could be more "support" to do the assignments in the related texts. But overall good!

Wuuusssup! It feels like the Boot.dev team has insane experience in teaching people. This course is pure awesomeness — it gives you more than just OOP, it starts building a Gigachad developer mindset.

The tasks are easy to understand but sometimes you really need to think about how to solve them properly.
