MODULE 1: Object Orientation

Object Oriented Programming

Object Oriented Programming, also known as OOP, is a software paradigm which started in the 1960's, where code is grouped, not into functions, but into classes of objects. This paradigm allows us to manipulate data in a more naturalistic fashion. In this module, we will learn how OOP works, how to design classes, how classes and objects work in Python, and some more advanced topics relating to OOP.
