Description

Use OOP to refactor growing code and turn small scripts into big programs with this Software Engineering exercise.

What You'll Learn?

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
make confident design changes to split up scripts and refactor them into modules

Who is this for?

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

What You Need to Know?

Beginner experience in Python or another programming language

You have worked with classes and objects before or enrolled in my “Object Oriented Programming with Python“ course on Udemy

More details

Description
This course teaches you how to take a single script and use OOP techniques to refactor it into modules in a playful way. You learn Inheritance, Composition and Polymorphism and use UML to design and communicate the system. The customer keeps requesting new features that forces you to think about the right tool in the right place. Will OOP allow you to refactor the code each time without risk of breaking things? Prepare for a big exercise in organizing code!
Target audience

Developers who especially benefit from this course, are:
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

Challenges

Students that are interested in this course often know basic Python features but are not yet aware of the role of OOP in structuring your code. Perhaps they have seen classes, objects, inheritance and polymorphism but they donâ€™t know where and when to apply these techniques. This can lead to the wrong technique in the wrong place, which makes OOP useless and inefficient. Because this course focuses on changing code, you learn WHEN, WHAT and more important, WHY you can apply a certain OOP technique and perhaps even more interesting, when a certain technique is NOT appropriate anymore and needs to be replaced with another one.

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

Topics
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

Duration

1,5 hours video time, 3 hours including practicing exercises.
