Learn Object Oriented Programming in Python

Object-oriented programming is a pattern for organizing code that's critical whether or not you plan to make use of inheritance. Understand its most important tenets.

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.

Great way of learning - Repetition is the mother of skill. The exercises helped me remember things from previous lessons and build memory.

Starting on the second to last chapter, there were exercises I found unfair for people who don't have a programming background like myself
