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.

OOP is easy to pretend that you understand, and quite difficult to actually understand, because of so many distinctions without much difference. This course really taught me a lot that I thought I already knew but didn't.
