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.

really necessary even if you are not a big fan of OOP. You HAVE to have a big picture of all you can do

I learned a lot in this course. Before starting, I knew very little about classes in Python. Now I understand a lot more, including inheritance and polymorphism.
