Course Overview
Welcome to Mastering Object-Oriented Programming in Python, a course designed to take you from the basics to advanced concepts of OOP in Python. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced Python developer, this course will equip you with the skills needed to design and implement robust, reusable, and efficient Python programs using object-oriented principles.
We begin by exploring the foundations of OOP, including classes, objects, attributes, and methods. You’ll learn key concepts such as encapsulation, constructors, destructors, and the self
parameter. As you progress, we’ll cover special (magic) methods, properties, and how to structure relationships between classes using composition.
Through hands-on code examples, you’ll implement real-world solutions like calculating the area of a rectangle, simulating a bank account, building a vending machine, and creating a booking system for conference rooms. You’ll also explore data abstraction, understanding public, private, and protected attributes in Python.
In the advanced section, you’ll learn about metaclasses, customizing class creation, making objects callable with __call__
, and optimizing performance with immutable classes using __slots__
.
