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.

It takes some heavy theory, and it's difficult to follow. And there is too few practices to put the theory in place.

I learned a lot, but I do feel like some of the questions I was almost forced to use the AI. As a new programmer I think theres a lot of complexity thrown at you, and a lot of the time you are not thought exactly whats being thrown at you. This reults in more and more AI use or having to dig around to find more.
