Course Description

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and design, guiding students through the fundamental concepts and practical applications of OOP in software development. Students will learn to define and construct classes, incorporating key components such as attributes (fields) and methods (functions).

Through a hands-on approach, the course explores the relationship between classes and objects, defines essential OOP principles: encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction, and demonstrates how these principles facilitate efficient and modular programming. By the end of this course, students will gain a solid foundation in OOP, equipping them with the skills to create reusable, well-structured code for various programming tasks and applications.
