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
