Object Oriented Programming: Introduction using Python
Prerequisites

Thu 18 Feb 2010

Description

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

This course provides an introduction to object oriented programming (OOP), aimed at those who have no prior experience of object oriented programming. The concepts of object oriented programming are demonstrated in Python, and Python's implementation of these concepts is discussed. By the end of the course, attendees should have a basic familiarity with these concepts and be able to assess wether the object-oriented paradigm is appropriate for their programming tasks.

As this course is part of the Scientific Computing series, most of the examples in the presentation are of greatest relevance to scientific programming.

Please note that there are no practical exercises during this course.

Prerequisites
  • Prior attendance at the "Programming: Python for Absolute Beginners" course or equivalent experience.
Sessions

Number of sessions: 1
