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.

Great course. I basically simplify every terms that you need to know about OOP. Of course, to master OOP, need to practice more with more exercise or university course level but this is good for the fundamentals

This course pushes one to think on deeper leve despite not having a full understanding of the process. I admirer this concise learning that I can implement for as little as 15 mins a day.

A well-organized course on organizing data and behaviors very well! Now that I think of it, Python makes a good job implementing OOP.

Coming from Java I felt a bit naked in OOP Python, but that's not the course's fault xD
