This course will be useful to anyone who has programming experience with Python and would like to take a deeper dive into the language. You will learn how to design object-oriented applications. You will also learn how to use apply object-oriented design to Python applications using classes and methods.

There are many ways you can approach writing an application to perform the processing tasks that you need. The object-oriented programming approach offers many benefits. In this lesson, you will explore those benefits so that you can eventually apply them to your Python® applications.

Having decided on an object-oriented approach to build your app, development starts with the creation of classes and objects to represent the programmatic elements and tasks that make up the app. In this lesson, you will create a class, instantiate objects of that class, use built-in methods to compare objects and perform arithmetic operations on objects, as well as create a class factory to make object creation easier.
