Python Coding Intermediate: Python Classes, Methods and OOPs

This intermediate-level course, “Python Coding Intermediate: Python Classes, Methods, and OOPs,” is designed to take your Python programming skills to the next level. Building upon the foundational knowledge of Python, this course delves into advanced topics related to classes, methods, and object-oriented programming (OOPs). The course begins with an introduction that provides an overview of the curriculum and guides you on the prerequisites needed to get started. You will learn how to set up your programming environment on Windows, Linux, or Mac, and discover tips for asking effective questions during your learning journey.

The course then progresses to the core topic of classes. You will explore the concept of classes, how to create them, and how to interact with class objects. Additionally, you will gain an understanding of access modifiers, which control the visibility and accessibility of class members. Next, the course focuses on methods, including creating methods, using parameters, working with default parameters, and understanding method overloading. You will also learn about the return keyword and its significance in method execution.

Moving forward, you will delve into object-oriented programming (OOPs), understanding the principles and benefits it offers. Topics covered include classes and objects, class constructors, and an assessment to test your understanding. The course also explores inheritance and polymorphism, two fundamental concepts in OOPs. You will learn how to derive classes from base classes, leverage getter and setter methods, and utilize polymorphism to create flexible and adaptable code.

Encapsulation and abstraction, crucial aspects of OOPs, are then introduced. You will explore access modifiers and their role in controlling access to class members, as well as the concepts of encapsulation and abstraction for code organization and information hiding. To apply your skills, the course provides hands-on Python game development examples suitable for intermediate learners. You will create a dice game and explore card and deck game playing, combining your Python knowledge with interactive gameplay.

By completing this course, you will gain proficiency in Python classes, methods, and OOPs concepts, allowing you to write more organized, modular, and efficient code. Whether you aspire to become a professional Python developer or enhance your programming skills, this course is designed to take you closer to your goals.
