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.

I've never seen a clearer explanation of what OOP really is. The entire platform is great, but this course was, so far, the best one. Love it!

Tough but rewarding, I think OOP is one of the most important things regarding Python, and this course explains the pillars well!

quite the headwreck, the theory makes sense in theory but in practice nested inherited classes get very confusing very fast. Possibly the usage of private class variables could be explained in a bit more depth with more examples too? current one works but i lost the idea quickly due to its complexity. Great course overall though! keep on it guys!
