Course Description

Object oriented programming. What is it?

That was my biggest question when I started programming.

It took me many months to get the object oriented programming concept fully cemented in my mind. Now I will help you get object orientation in less than an hour. Avoid needlessly complicated explanations that you find on the internet, as I explain everything in PLAIN language.

Object Oriented programming (OOP) is used in almost every popular language out there, be it Java, C#, Javascript or PHP. Youll also need it for iOS and Android apps if you make those!

-----------Review of this course--------------

Very good explanations and organisation of material. A good companion while learning the code in other courses to get a complete approach to programming in an object orientated way.

------------------------------------------------------

When I learnt object oriented programming it was from videos made by boring instructors. I wanted it to be fun and thats why everything I explain is illustrated using Lego. Lego is the perfect tool because it is exactly like programming they both are construction tools, used to build a final product.

We will do a little light programming during the course to demonstrate what OOP is. Our language of choice is C# because we can write it in the excellent (and free) cross platform software: Xamarin. Xamarin allows us to learn object oriented programming in C# on PC, Mac or Linux.

You do not need to know any C# (or even basic programming) beforehand.

Course highlights

Fundamental object oriented programming concepts are explainedA few more advanced ideas are covered tooSome homework to get you thinkingFantastic Lego illustrations

What are the requirements?



A PC with internet access to set up Xamarin (an open source .
Net engine)You can also run Xamarin on a Mac (or Mono-Develop on Linux)

What will you get from this course?

12 carefully sculpted lectures, complete with excellent Lego illustrations!
Learn to code by thinking in an Object Oriented mannerMake beautiful, concisely written code the number one asset coveted by anyone looking to hire developersMake a start in professional software development (freelance rates in the USA are $60 - $150 per hour)

Who is the target audience?

Anyone that wants to earn a very healthy living writing and creating softwarePeople looking to improve their own knowledge of object oriented conceptsWho this course is for:
Beginner / novice programmers who do not understand object oriented programming principles

Swift on iOS, a littleJava here and thereand C# for Xamarin. I'll show you how to use them all!

When you learn from me you learn in an holistic manner. You learn concepts that are applicable to ALL mobile systems.
My aim is to get you qualified mighty fast, with very little hair tearing from frustration.
And what does that mean for you?
You'll be able to make your own apps to earn passive income. Or you could become a freelance developer which I can honestly say it is the best life in the world. You will have no boss and earn an hourly rate of over $100. You can also take holiday whenever you want.
Of course you have to learn how to make good apps first so take my courses now and you will see how easy mobile app development can be!

I'm going to start taking Java lessons in my undergraduate course soon. And Java is an object orientated programming language. When I looked at the course syllabus of all of the Java topics that we are going to take, I was a bit discouraged because it involved words that I didn't really know or really understand. Big words that I didn't know or understand. But after taking this course, I feel more at ease. I know the terminologies now and what they mean. So now, I can get started with learning the nitty-gritty details of Java programming. Thank you very much. The Lego analogies were wonderful! And the pictures were beautifully done as well! I love the stories above all. They make learning object orientated programming all that more fun and easy. So, thank you! :)

The instructor is clear, he's broken the topic into topics using metaphors that hadn't occurred to me before.

Great match. Everything is explained clearly and the visual is a huge help.

very quick, easy to follow and useful. I might add that users using Visual Studio will need to make sure the C# .NET package is installed so that folks using that IDE can follow along!

it was very good, but I was expecting the code for the exercise, so that I can verify my code.

By Gary Beverly on 3/17/2020

The material needs updating. The explanations are very good and the examples are well done but the opening and the software used is no longer available.

Loved it....Started appreciating programming more due to the leggo approach..!!

By Ugo Pollio on 1/11/2020

good course, well explained and illustrated, I like the Lego analogy.

By Malcolm Rugeley on 11/5/2019

It says it is for beginners but i over estimated it.

By Szilgyi Lszl-Rbert on 6/5/2019

With the legos, and code examples as well, it's a really a good way to illustrate and explain.

Getting there

By Douglas Cross on 3/5/2019

The course was short and a good stand alone it was convenient to see code examples that happened to be in C# since I use that in unity game programming to help me review what I was doing was what concept of OOP in my own codes to help me review my OOP concepts and terms.
