It's very methodical and detail. It helps you build a very strong foundation in OOP in python. Highly recommended for beginners." - Xin Chu"Even total noob will understand the OOP here :)" — Łukasz Bryzek"I love how the instructor explains things in simple language and relates it to everyday life. I actually understand! I'm just at the beginning of the course and am excited about continuing." — Donny Lobree"I would strongly recommend this course if you are new to programming and want to master the basics of OOP." — Demayne Collins"The learning sticks. The coverage of Python classes here, for me, has been better than how this topic has been covered in a couple of other Python classes I have from more well-established Python instructors. Hats of to the instructor for putting this together." — Thomas P"Perfect for persons without any clue in oop!" — Patrick Onegin--------------Course UpdatesThe course is frequently updated with new lectures, projects, and resources:November 2022 - NEW!
