Reviews

Learn to write cleaner, more modular, and more scaleable code in Python by gaining a master of Object Oriented Programming (OOP). You'll start with the basics of object oriented programming and build up to more advanced concepts such as inheritance, information hiding, and polymorphism. Along the way you'll learn how each concept applies to Python in particular, as well as how various Python features make it particularly convenient for OOP. This course is filled with hands-on coding challenges, playgrounds, snippets, and illustrations to keep things interactive.
