This course offers a comprehensive introduction to object-oriented programming (OOP) in Python, a paradigm shift from procedural programming after you’ve learned the language basics.
Starting with the fundamentals of classes, objects, and methods, you’ll learn how to structure code for better organization, scalability, and readability. You’ll explore essential OOP concepts like encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism through hands-on examples, including a micro social media platform called Chirpy. You’ll practice creating private data attributes to protect your code from unintended interference, supporting the principle of abstraction and encapsulation.
By the end, you’ll develop a solid understanding of Python’s OOP features and gain confidence in designing and building real-world applications that are easy to extend. This journey prepares you to tackle advanced topics and larger projects, strengthening your foundation in Python’s object-oriented best practices.
