There are 4 modules in this course

In Object-Oriented Concepts, we will introduce the core concepts behind modern, object-oriented, programming. We will discuss objects, classes, messaging, inheritance, polymorphism, and more. As with Fundamentals of Programming, we will illustrate the concepts using the Python language, but they will be portable to other object-oriented programming languages.

This module will introduce the core concepts of Object-Oriented Programming, and will briefly contrast a procedural, structured, programming approach with an object-oriented approach.
