There are 3 modules in this course

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.

This is the first course in a multi-course Specialization. All of the courses in this Specialization require that you use the provided virtual machine, which includes an installation of Python. The course setup instructions provided in the first module of this course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.

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.

Frequently asked questions

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
