Python Programming: Object-Oriented Design

عن

Code and run your first Python program in minutes without installing anything! ****

This course is designed for learners with limited coding experience, providing a solid foundation of not just Python, but core Computer Science and software development topics that can be transferred to other languages. The modules in this course cover object-oriented programming, inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism, and other object-related topics. Completion of the prior 2 courses in this program is recommended.

To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You'll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to small, approachable coding exercises that take minutes instead of hours.

What you will learn

• Create classes using constructors, attributes, and methods

• Architect larger programs using object-oriented principles

• Re-use parts of classes using inheritance

• Encapsulate relevant information and methods in a class
