Course content

3 sections30 lectures4h 42m total length
  • Introduction to Object Oriented Programming (OOP) in Python25:20

    Explore object-oriented programming in Python, comparing functional programming, and learn how classes and objects support abstraction, inheritance, encapsulation, and code management for real world apps.

  • Class vs Object in OOP12:47

    Understand the class vs object distinction in Python’s object-oriented programming with concrete examples of list, string, and integer objects and how to access their attributes and methods.

  • Writing our first Class in OOP38:17

    Learn to write your first Python class in object oriented programming by building a banking ATM class with a constructor, data properties, and methods for pin, balance check, and withdraw.

  • Methods vs Functions1:57

    Clarify the difference between methods and functions in Python, showing methods inside classes use self, while functions exist outside. The lecture emphasizes industry terminology and includes examples.

  • Class Diagram in OOP4:00

    Learn to create a class diagram for an OOP Python class, detailing the class name, data properties, and methods, with plus and minus notation for public and private members.

  • Magic Methods/Dunder Methods in OOP4:57

    Explore magic methods, or dunder methods, in Python object-oriented programming and how constructors auto-execute, with a focus on user control versus self control.

  • Concept of self in OOP5:05

    Explain the concept of self in oop by using the self keyword to reference the current class instance and access its attributes and methods within the atm machine class.

  • How object access attributes in OOP7:13

    Learn how a Python class accesses attributes with self, uses a greeting for India's Namaste or a generic Hello, and shows how to add or access attributes like age dynamically.

  • Reference Variable in OOP3:27

    Explore reference variables in Python OOP, showing how objects p and q share the same memory location, how assigning one affects the other, and why identity matters for debugging.

  • Pass by reference in OOP3:48

    Demonstrates passing a class object by reference to a function in Python, returning and accessing its attributes via dot notation (name and gender) within oop.

  • Mutibility of Object in OOP2:51

    Explore how Python objects are mutable by modifying a class instance inside a function and observing the same memory id, and contrast lists, sets, and dictionaries with immutable strings.

  • What is instance variable in OOP5:08

    Demonstrate how instance variables store different data for each object in a single class, using a person example with name and country to show distinct object states.

  • Encapsulation in OOP25:00

    Explore encapsulation in Python by examining private variables, exemplified with an ATM balance protected from changes by double underscores. Future setter and getter concepts will control access to private data.

  • getter & setter methods in OOP6:15

    Use getter and setter methods to safely access and modify a private property, such as a balance, inside a class, with type checks to prevent invalid updates.

  • Collection of class objects in OOP2:00

    Store class objects in Python collections by placing instances in a list or dictionary, and iterate to access attributes like name and country.

  • Static Variables & Methods in OOP9:53

    Learn static variables and static methods in Python by enhancing an ATM class to generate unique customer IDs with a class variable, plus encapsulation with getters and setters.

  • Aggregation in OOP12:19

    Explore aggregation in python's object-oriented programming, where a customer owns an address object to model real-world relationships and enable code reuse. Show private property access via getters and hint inheritance.

  • Aggregation class diagram in OOP4:11

    Learn to draw an aggregation class diagram in OOP using a customer and address example, with the diamond indicating aggregation and ownership guiding software design.

  • Inheritance in OOP18:25

    Explore inheritance in oop by showing how a parent class provides login and register to child classes like student and instructor, highlighting class relationships and dry principles.

  • Inheritance class diagram in OOP1:35

    Learn to create inheritance class diagrams using the arrow symbol for inheritance, distinguish them from aggregation diamonds, and label data and method properties with plus and minus for access.

  • What gets Inherited8:04

    Explore inheritance in Python with phone and smartphone classes, covering constructors, parent versus child initialization, and private attribute access via the getter method and the super keyword.

  • Method Overriding in OOP2:31

    Explore method overriding in OOP by comparing parent and child class methods; see how the child method takes precedence and how it falls back to parent when no override exists.

  • Super Keyword in OOP4:21

    Explore how the super keyword calls parent class methods and accesses attributes, with examples of constructor and method overriding in Python's object-oriented programming.

  • Types of Inheritance in OOP7:57

    Explore the types of inheritance in OOP in Python, including single, multi-level, hierarchical, and multiple inheritance. See how parent and child classes share properties and methods through examples and diagrams.

  • Polymorphism in OOP5:51

    Explore polymorphism in OOP, covering method overriding, method overloading, and operator overloading, using the same function name with different signatures.

  • Abstraction in OOP9:14

    Explain abstraction in Python by hiding unnecessary details and exposing only relevant information, using an abstract base class and abstract methods to constrain junior programmers.

Requirements

  • Basic Python Programming Knowledge
  • Understanding of Data Types & Variables
  • Familiarity with Functions and Loops
  • Experience with Python Syntax and IDEs
  • Problem-Solving and Logical Thinking
  • Basic Knowledge of File Handling in Python
  • Willingness to Learn OOP Concepts
