Introduction:
Course Overview and Objectives
Importance of Python Object Oriented Programming
Prerequisites and Getting Started
Classes and Objects:
Defining classes and objects in Python
Understanding class attributes and instance attributes
Implementing constructors (__init__) to initialize objects
Creating and manipulating objects
Attributes and Methods:
Working with instance methods and class methods
Understanding method overloading and overriding
Implementing static methods
Encapsulating data using private and protected attributes
Inheritance:
Creating and using subclasses in Python
Implementing inheritance to reuse code
Understanding method resolution order (MRO)
Using super() to access superclass methods
Encapsulation:
As we near the end of our journey, we focus on encapsulation, a crucial concept in object-oriented programming.
Exploring access modifiers such as public, private, and protected
Understanding how access modifiers restrict access to class members
Implementing encapsulation to protect data within classes
Polymorphism:
Understanding polymorphism and its types
Implementing method overriding and operator overloading
Using polymorphism to write flexible and reusable code
Special Methods (Magic Methods):
Exploring special methods like __str__, __repr__, __len__, __add__
Understanding the purpose and usage of special methods
Implementing custom behavior using special methods
Abstraction and Interfaces:
Understanding abstract classes and abstract methods
Using ABC (Abstract Base Classes) module for abstraction
Implementing interfaces and adhering to contract
Composition and Aggregation:
Understanding composition and aggregation
Building complex objects using composition
Implementing aggregation to model relationships
Properties and Decorators:
Implementing getter and setter methods
Understanding property decorators (@property, @setter, @deleter)
Using properties to encapsulate attributes
Multiple Inheritance:
Understanding multiple inheritance and its pitfalls
Using multiple inheritance to combine features from multiple classes
Managing method resolution order (MRO) in multiple inheritance
Method Resolution Order (MRO):
Method Resolution Order (MRO), a crucial aspect of inheritance in Python.
Understanding how Python determines the order in which methods are resolved
Using super() to navigate the Method Resolution Order
Duck Typing:
Understanding the concept of Duck Typing
Implementing Duck Typing to write flexible code
Utilizing Duck Typing to work with different types of objects
Data Hiding:
Understanding encapsulation and data hiding
Using encapsulation to restrict access to data
Implementing private attributes and methods
Composition over Inheritance:
Understanding the principle of composition over inheritance
Identifying scenarios where composition is preferable
Building flexible and maintainable code using composition
