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

Clean Code

Understand why we have programming paradigms in the first place, and how they help us write more maintainable code

Classes

Learn about classes and objects, and how OOP differs from a functional programming paradigm.

Encapsulation

Learn how to write cleaner code by encapsulating data and methods.

Abstraction

Abstraction is a powerful tool that will make your code more robust and reusable.

Inheritance

The crux of OOP is the ability to inherit data and behaviors from other classes

Polymorphism

Polymorphism is one of the best ideas we've had as developers, learn how it works.
