This course is designed to introduce you to object orientated programming in Python.

As an object orientated language, every variable used in Python is an object. This course will cover:

  • what is meant by objects
  • how to create user-defined classes to hold data
  • how to expand and enhance user-defined classes to perform important functions

The course will also provide a greater understanding of how commonly used Python packages are set up and the background work involved.

Who this course is for

To enrol on this course you should have a good level of experience with Python. This should include experience of creating your own functions.

Learning outcomes
