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 you'll learn in this Python course

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 fun but the overridden operators could be explained a bit better

Good but a bit too short. More like an ,,intro to OOP in Python"

I had some basics on OOP but this one expanded on it and the good thing is this knowledge could also apply to other language aside from Python

Really good course, with a lot of solid intuitive examples and assignments. Includes a good amount of coding. Also glad that it takes difficulty up a bit compared to the first beginner python course.

The course was short and concise. At times, you had to put in a bit of effort and self study to truly understand what was going on.

This course is great in some places. I really love OOP and all the quirks around polymorphism. Sadly, a few lessons really focus on you being able to eek out coordinates more than the programming concepts themselves. (Yeah, I'm bad at coords, I'll admit). Aside from these annoying lessons, there are some which are explained in a bit of a confusing manner. Overall decent though!

concepts can be cleared with the challenges and I must say the challenges really test your logic and thought process
