Class Concepts: Object-Oriented Programming in Python
Python uses object-oriented programming to group data and associated operations together into classes. In this video course, you'll learn how to write object-oriented code with classes, attributes, and methods.
Course
Data classes are one of the new features introduced in Python 3.7. When using data classes, you don't have to write boilerplate code to get proper initialization, representation, and comparisons for your objects.
Course
Using Python Class Constructors
Learn how class constructors work in Python. You'll also explore Python's instantiation process, which has two main steps: instance creation and instance initialization.
Course
Using Multiple Constructors in Your Python Classes
Learn how to provide multiple constructors in your Python classes. To this end, you'll learn different techniques, such as checking argument types, using default argument values, writing class methods, and implementing single-dispatch methods.
Course
Python's Magic Methods in Classes
Learn what magic methods are in Python, how they work, and how to use them in your custom classes to support powerful features in your object-oriented code.
Course
Learn what getter and setter methods are, how Python properties are preferred over getters and setters when dealing with attribute access and mutation, and when to use getter and setter methods instead of properties in Python.
Course
Inheritance and Composition: A Python OOP Guide
Learn about inheritance and composition in Python. You'll improve your object-oriented programming (OOP) skills by understanding how to use inheritance and composition and how to leverage them in their design.
Tutorial
The Factory Method Pattern and Its Implementation in Python
Learn about the Factory Method design pattern and its implementation. You'll understand the components of Factory Method, when to use it, and how to modify existing code to leverage it. You'll also see a general purpose implementation of Factory Method in Python.
Course
Design and Guidance: Object-Oriented Programming in Python
Learn about the SOLID principles, which are five well-established standards for improving your object-oriented design in Python. By applying these principles, you can create object-oriented code that is more maintainable, extensible, scalable, and testable.
