Course Overview
Demystifying OOP Fundamentals
Here are just some of the items covered in this course.
We will talk about the history of “OOP” Object Oriented Programming and “POP”, Procedural Oriented Programming. We will look deep into the origins of OOP and why it is such a powerful “Methodology” in the world of programming and software development. This course will show you the differences in POP and OOP, the benefits of one over the other, Why would you use POP instead of OOP. Why and where you should use OOP instead of POP, etc.. We will teach you how to start thinking of your programming in terms of “objects” with classes, instead of a traditional “Top Down” programming approach. When we sit down to write an application or a program, it is helpful to think about the process in terms of “Abstracts” and “Objects”. We live in a world of objects, Everything is an object and that is why we should look at our programming in terms of “Objects” as well. We will study the importance of “Objects” and how they interact with other objects around them, and that is the foundation of this introduction to OOP course.

It was a good introduction to a difficult, abstract subject. Just the right length for me. I would agree that some of the language was a teeny bit outdated. The God bits were jarring, but definitely woke me right up. As in, wait -- what?

Overall this course was very good. Enjoyed the simple language and examples. Some items I feel were too high level, such as abstraction. There is a large amount of generalization that made is slightly challenging to conceptualize the purpose and I feel like some of the questions in the quiz were not very well reviewed in the videos. If you have zero background with programming this is a great place to start. If you have some understanding, you'll want a little more than what this course offers but it's still worth the time to take.

Good examples except the god references. They are not real examples. The speed was a bit quick.

Es bueno iniciar con entendimiento de las bases, en lugar de iniciar programando y tratar de hacer que el estudiante entienda todo de golpe
