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.

Challenging yet engaging. Much better than theoretical courses that dont get you into the nitty gritty.

It starts with a nice smooth learning curve to introduce the topic, but then takes a big leap. I would like it to be a bit smoother throughout.

What started out as a 'bang head against wall repeatedly' process, ended up with an eye opening understanding of ease in work flow and flexibility optimization.

I can see how some people would find it goofy, but I also love the promise of this technique and hope it serves me well :)
