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.

I thought this course explained everything really well, although there is a lot to remember so that part is where I fall short, trying to remember the syntax that I used yesterday.

Great course. It taught me a lot about OOP and considering the engine I will be using is almost exclusively based on OOP I'm grateful it was here to help me! Thanks Boot.Dev!
