Python 2200: Mastering Object Orientation

Let's dive right into the abstraction concept arena with a quick concept review. Enjoy my first 'lab music' selection whilst starting or re-installing your Python programming environment.

Type-alone with this classic inheritance concept review. Enjoy the next lab music selection while demonstrating your ability to use core inheritance concepts.

Our solution demonstrates the minimum amount of inheritance required.

Practice using core instance enhancement & detection while enjoying another music selection.

Our solution encapsulates the input function, to be over-ridden by the child / ancestral class.

Define and practice the creation and enforcement of an abstract parent / child inheritance relationship. Create your own parent class during this first official `abc` activity.

Our solution demonstrates how to re-use abstract members as well as to provide our own required, custom signature operations.

Review & practice how to use @properties so we can better understand how to manage non-functional abstract member properties in the `abc` Module.

Review a solution to the previous activity before defining & implementing your own @property abstraction.

In a time of growth assumptions are seldom a good thing.

Type along as we create a game. Along the way we'll review instance + class detections, Python's enum Module, List Comprehension, as well as how to use Python's random Module to create a basic A.I.

Raising common exception types is arguably yet another way to ensure common re-use and coding operations.

In this lesson we will next re-use what we have just learned to add a 3rd animal into our new game framework.

Being able to eat Cat food, our game's Bears have a distinct competitive advantage - but Birds and Cats can still win.

Forcing classes to provide static member can allow us to support many other Object initialization strategies.

Predictable testing patterns allow - for example - for us to ensure that the "Bird" always wins.

Re-factoring what we have done to create an abstract game-ordering strategy.

Completing the Zookeep Package, in this lesson we will discover how we may both required, as well as use static members to accommodate both game-creation, as well as game-testing, strategies.

The build-in ability to manually add and remove class members - or attributes - from Python Objects is a must-know set of 'Ops!
