Object oriented pirates coding adventure in python

Target audience

Students who especially benefit from this course:

• beginner programmers who want to practice OOP basics
• developers who want to learn how to turn small scripts into logical code modules
• developers who want to learn how to refactor code with minimal change and risk

Training contents

• Classes and Objects: Class instantiation, self, data attributes, UML, methods
• Inheritance: When to use and not use Inheritance
• UML: Use UML class diagrams to design and communicate your system
• Polymorphism: Open-closed principle, prevent switches (if/else)
• Composition: Replace inheritance with composition
• Refactoring: Split up scripts and make a system modular to achieve single responsibility
• JSON: Load data from a JSON file
• Generator expressions and List comprehensions: Convert JSON data to object efficiently

What can you do after this course?

• improve existing and future code by effectively refactoring code into small modules
• decouple your modules by using dependency injection|make modules into plugins by using Polymorphism
• solve open-closed principle violations by using composition|communicate your designs with UML class diagrams
