Project-based learning with a focus on game development.
Comprehensive coverage of OOP principles and their application in Python.
Step-by-step guidance from experienced instructors.
Description
An immersive video course designed to introduce and deepen your understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles within the Python ecosystem. Through a hands-on approach, instructors Vonne and Justin guide you from the foundational setup and OOP basics—encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism—to the creation of a dynamic text-based game, MonsterSlash. This course is structured to enhance your programming skills by applying OOP techniques to reduce code redundancy, promote reusability, and streamline your coding workflow. You'll embark on a project-driven learning path that not only solidifies theoretical concepts but also puts them into practice by developing a fully functional game. As the course progresses, you'll refine your game, add complexity, and implement advanced OOP strategies, culminating in version 2 of MonsterSlash that features enhanced gameplay elements. Whether you're a beginner eager to explore programming or an intermediate looking to sharpen your OOP skills in Python, this course offers valuable insights and skills for your development arsenal.
Who is this book for?
This course is ideal for individuals interested in Python programming, especially those curious about object-oriented programming.
