Python Object Oriented Programming (OOP): Beginner to Pro (Udemy.com)

This is an amazing course on Python Object Oriented Programming! First of all, Andy has a practical style of teaching that makes all the concepts easy to digest. The skill challenges force you to really think instead of blind copy pasting. But my favorite thing about this course was Andy really stepping back and explaining what happens under the hood for a lot of these concepts instead of just presenting a concept and how to use it. It really helps understand why python does what it does! Andy is incredibly knowledgeable and has a passion for programming!

Andy Bek is an excellent instructor, and his teaching method has several strengths. He begins each lecture by presenting a problem and then introduces the necessary Python feature to solve it. He thoroughly explains the concept and addresses any potential pitfalls, providing solutions using existing Python features. Occasionally, he explores related topics, adding valuable context to the course material. One of the highlights of his teaching is the skill challenge questions, which present real-world problems and usage patterns for students to solve independently. Afterward, he demonstrates the solution and suggests improvements or refactoring where applicable. Overall, his approach makes learning Python concepts engaging, and I highly recommend this course for advanced Python programming learners.

(Nov-24th-2023) Bulldozing through Section-2 and so far 5-star for great detail and several other positive aspects. I'm hoping the same follows through the rest of the course. Will keep updating as and when Udemy keeps nudging me to leave comments. (Dec-7th-2023) With this course, for a novice programmer like me, I'm now seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Been using several Python-Libraries/Packages, blindly in the past, after this course I'm much more educated as to how OOP is a humongous advantage and so is Python. Thank you Andy. You are the best.

Very good tour through the intricacies of Python OOP with high-level detail and reasons why or why not to use certain features. This course gives you the "look behind the curtain" of python OOP features and ties it all nicely together so that you can appreciate more about what is happening when you are using classes and types. I understand some will find the challenges hard or that the instructor is "showing off", but no it is just that at his level he see's things so clearly that its becomes like the tennis player who hits first serves down the tee for fun whilst the rest of us get pumped if we do it once per week! However, I now look at classes and OOP much more clearly than I did and will now work to get to Mr Bek's level of comfort. So do not be put off if the challenges are too hard, just try to do as much as you can and learn from the implementation he provides and then look back from the start and say wow I now know a lot more than most about OOP in python! I struggled but then I am only and intermediate sometime user so I would not expect to be a Mr Bek's level -- yet!

The course as a whole is exactly what it advertises itself as. It goes over Python OOP starting with the assumption that you know nothing and ending with a couple of sections that very few programmers will ever really need to know. 80% of the content is extremely useful to know as a python developer and the 20% that is not incredibly useful is very clearly indicated to be bonus content or content that is very advanced and not likely to be used by most people. The instructor is pretty good at explaining the concepts and rarely gets into very technical tangents. When he does get into technical tangents he indicates that this information can be ignored if the viewer is not interested in it.

Andy beck I don't care if you read this or not but One thing i would recommend you that you can like select one big project and tell the learners in the end of the section that apply the things you learned in this lesson and you should give quizzes. the skill challenges should be more frequent like when i finish the section and go to skill challenge I just forget everything then i have to rewatch everything again

The course "Python Object Oriented Programming (OOP): Beginner to Pro" has proven to be disappointingly futile, filled with an abundance of unnecessary details. Despite its promising title, the content fails to deliver any substantial knowledge on the subject matter. The course creators seem to have a penchant for overindulgence, inundating learners with superfluous information that does little to enhance one's understanding of object-oriented programming. Moreover, the inclusion of irrelevant examples and convoluted explanations only serves to exacerbate the confusion. As a result, students find themselves lost in a sea of inconsequential details, ultimately rendering this course an impractical and unproductive endeavor.

Andy Bek's Udemy Python OOP course is both in depth and clear. Not only are all the class dunder/"magic" methods and inheritance explained, but also Python capabilities like properties, enumerations, exceptions, dataclasses, descriptors and meta-classes that are based or add functionality to the basic class construct. 23 hours of video [+ another 3 hours of python basics]. Special lessons are devoted to various "gotchas" and tips - like when to use multiple inheritance. The audio is clear. In fact I listened to the course at x1.25 speed without any problems. Another strong point are the "skill challanges" which clearly show how the various construct can be used. First the challanges are presented - and then a solution is shown step by step. Note that since the videos are based on code being written and explained - It's best viewed on a large screen.

Its a great course by Andy. The course goes in a steady manner and achieve its goals to let the student feel the depth of knowledge. Andy is a great tutor and his way of delivering the knowledge is extremely surgical and to the point. You just need to stick to the course and 'OOP' concept will start to make sense and by the time you complete it, you will have the understanding level of a python professional developer.

This is an excellent course, the only thing is if you're a non-native English speaker and you still struggling with your listening skills, you'll struggle a lot with this course because the subtitles don't help most of the time. Besides that, the content is amazing, the exercises are excellent to develop your logic skills. This is not meant for beginners, I was kind of new when I started, and it was hard for me at the beginning so besides the OOP content I learned more things by myself throughout the course. I recommend this to everyone who wants to learn OOP, this is worth it and that's why I leave this five-star rating. I've seen a lot of Python content creators and no one explains like Andy; he explains everything in detail, which was the key for me to understand everything even though the complexity of the content and even the skill challenges are explained exceptionally. Again, this is the one if you're looking for an OOP course and don't know which to choose.
