Introduction6:11

Classes and Objects - section introduction5:42
What is the difference between a class and an object? Why do we need them in programming?
The building of a class - fields7:43
What are fields? How do we store data in our class? How do we attribute values to data fields?
How to print an object6:44
What happens when you try to print your object? What does is mean? What is METHOD OVERRIDING?
The building of a class - constructors13:38
What is a constructor? How many types of constructors are there? What is THIS? How to define constructors' parameters and attribute them values?
Chaining constructors4:13
How to avoid rewriting code within our constructors?
Classes and Objects quiz

What is encapsulation?4:02
Definition of encapsulation. Why is encapsulation needed? How is this principle applied in real world?
Access modifiers7:45
How is Encapsulation achieved in practice? The role of access modifiers, placed in front of different elements. Why are restrictions needed?
Data Validation10:12
How to validate the data our project takes as input? How to change the flow of the programming, in order the validation to take place? How to add error message if validation is not passed and to handle it?
Encapsulation quiz

What is inheritance?3:24
Inheritance - definition. Where can we see an example of inheritance in the world around us? How is the idea transformed in programming? What is a SUPER class and SUB classes?
Section task3:18
Create an application: Person-Adult
Task solution - inheritance in practice18:37
The building of a project - step by step. What does EXTEND mean and when to use it? How to format the output as we were asked to print it?
Inheritance quiz

What is abstraction?4:35
Definition of abstraction. Abstraction around us - real world examples.
Abstract classes and Abstract methods5:15
What is an abstract class? How is it defined? How and why to use it while crating our programs? What are abstract methods? How do they differ from other methods?
Section task2:51
Build your own project: School hierarchy
Task solution - abstraction in practice13:11
Building of a section project - step by step logic explained. How to add methods, how to handle abstract methods?
Abstraction quiz

Requirements

The IDE I am going to use is IntelliJ, you may opt for any other environment you are used to. Please, have it installed, as we are not starting from the installation process, but a step ahead.

Description

Once we cover the idea of classes and objects, you are to be introduced to the basic OOP principles - encapsulation, inheritance, abstraction and polymorphism, The lectures are structured in a way to let you move in pace with the instructor, applying everything you have just seen by yourself. The logic of every piece of code is to be explained in details. Once the theoretical part cover, you'll complete 3 more projects, by yourself, as I'll be guiding you on the way. Nowadays, every programmer needs to be aware of what OOP is and how it is applied - so, why not making the first step now?

Who this course is for:

This course is for everyone who has basic knowledge of programming (what a variable is, what an if-statement is, how a loop works).
The language we are going to use is Java, but keep in mind this is a course about principles, not about syntax.
So, anyone, with any programming background is welcome.
