Course

Learn how class constructors work in Python. You'll also explore Python's instantiation process, which has two main steps: instance creation and instance initialization.

Course

Learn how to provide multiple constructors in your Python classes. To this end, you'll learn different techniques, such as checking argument types, using default argument values, writing class methods, and implementing single-dispatch methods.

Course

Learn how to leverage single and multiple inheritance in your object-oriented application to supercharge your classes with Python super().

Course

Learn what magic methods are in Python, how they work, and how to use them in your custom classes to support powerful features in your object-oriented code.

Tutorial

How to overload built-in functions and operators in your custom Python classes in order to make your code more Pythonic.

Course

Learn about inheritance and composition in Python. You'll improve your object-oriented programming (OOP) skills by understanding how to use inheritance and composition and how to leverage them in their design.

Tutorial

Learn about the Factory Method design pattern and its implementation. You'll understand the components of Factory Method, when to use it, and how to modify existing code to leverage it. You'll also see a general purpose implementation of Factory Method in Python.

Course

Learn about the SOLID principles, which are five well-established standards for improving your object-oriented design in Python. By applying these principles, you can create object-oriented code that is more maintainable, extensible, scalable, and testable.
