Object-Oriented Python: Inheritance and Encapsulation

You can code and run your first Python program in minutes, without having to install anything.

This course is for those with little programming experience. It provides a solid foundation in Python and core Computer Science topics that can also be used to translate to other languages. This course covers inheritance, encapsulation and polymorphism as well as other topics related to objects. It is strongly recommended that you complete the 3 previous courses in this specialization. This course does not include video. It is designed to be hands-on and self-paced. Assignments include short explanations, images, and code examples that can be run. You will also receive suggestions for editing to further explore the code examples. This allows you to build a deeper understanding through doing. Instant feedback is available from a variety assessment items. You will benefit from the gradual progression from quick understanding checks (multiple choices, fill in the blank and un-scrambling codes blocks) to small, manageable coding exercises that take only minutes, instead of hours.
