Object Oriented Python

Description

Overview

n this series, Vonne and Justin explore the intricate world of Object-Oriented Programming(OOP), particularly in the context of the Python programming language. Starting with the basics of OOP, Justin demonstrates the creation of classes and associated objects from those classes. Moreover, Justin demonstrates the use of Inheritance of classes to reduce code repetitiveness in an effort to adhere to the Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle. Lastly, Justin builds a simple OOP centric text-based adventure. If you are ready to get into Object-Oriented Python, then join us!
