Python OOP – Object Oriented Programming for Beginners

Add New Python Skills To Your Resume

Python is currently one of the most popular programming languages and its popularity continues rising every year. It is used for real-world applications in diverse areas such as Data Science, Game Development, Web Development, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and many more. Learning Object Oriented Programming in Python is your next step into the powerful world of computer science.

Object Oriented Programming is key if you wish to expand your computer science skills and create maintainable and scalable programs. You will need to learn these concepts to implement data structures like trees, graphs, and linked lists. It’s also key for game development, GUI programming, artificial intelligence, and many other areas. The concepts and techniques that you will learn in this course are easily transferable to other programming languages like Java, JavaScript, and many more.

Content & Overview

With high-quality video lectures that include graphics and animations, you will learn and work with these concepts:

• Classes
• Instances
• Instance Attributes
• Class Attributes
• Methods
• The ‘self’ parameter
• Inheritance
• Docstrings
• Special Methods
• and more.

You will build a Tic-Tac-Toe game and a text-based version of the War Card Game following the principles of Object Oriented Programming.

Learning Material & Resources

Throughout the course, you will find these resources:

• Video lectures: carefully designed graphics, animations, and explanations.
• Dice Game: you will build an interactive dice game using the principles of Object-Oriented Programming.
• Tic-Tac-Toe Game: you will build a working tic-tac-toe game using the principles of Object Oriented Programming.
• War Card Game Project: you will create a text-based version of the War Card Game using the principles of Object Oriented Programming.
• Final Project: you will implement a data structure in Python (a Linked List) with step-by-step explanations, practical exercises, and featured questions.
• Mini Projects: you will apply your knowledge at the end of each section with mini projects.
• Solutions to the Mini Projects: each mini project has its corresponding solution.
• PDF Handouts: unique study guides with graphical summaries of the key aspects of each section.
• Coding Exercises: practice key concepts with the coding exercises.
• Solutions of the Coding Exercises: each coding exercise has its corresponding solution.
• Quizzes: check your knowledge interactively after each lecture with short quizzes that have unlimited attempts.
• Python Files: download the code used for each section as a compressed (.zip) file with individual python (.py) files.
• Articles: read complementary articles to expand your knowledge.
• Course Poster: track your progress with a poster that you can cross out as you complete each section.
• Cornell Notes Format: take notes with this PDF format and follow the Cornell Note-taking System.
• Code Notebook Format: download a PDF format to write your code manually if you prefer, and add your notes and comments.
• Discussion Forums: ask questions on the discussion forums and discuss interesting topics with your peers.

Why is this course unique?

This course is unique because of its emphasis on providing visual and detailed explanations of how the elements of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) work behind the scenes, so you will not only learn how to use them in Python, you will actually understand what each line of code does behind the scenes.

During the course, you will apply your knowledge by completing mini projects that simulate simplified real-world scenarios such as fixing classes in a bakery system, representing bacteria for educational software using instance attributes, implementing inheritance for a videogame, completing the system of a vending machine, and many more. Each mini project includes its corresponding solution.

Unique study materials complement the course experience. You will find PDF handouts specifically designed for the course with a graphical summary of the key aspects of each section.

You will solve coding exercises directly on the browser and you will receive instant feedback for your submission.

You will check your knowledge with short Quizzes after each main lecture. The Quizzes provide instant feedback, so you can see the correct answer immediately. The quiz questions were designed to make you think more deeply about the topics presented.

You will receive a certificate of completion that you can add to your social media profiles to showcase your new skills.

You will also have lifetime access to the course and to all the new additions.

You are very welcome to watch the preview lectures and check out the full course curriculum.
