Dette nettkurset fokuserer på objektorientert programmering (OOP) i Python og er ideelt for de som allerede har grunnleggende ferdigheter i Python og ønsker å utvide sine kunnskaper. OOP gir deg muligheten til å skrive kode som er mer strukturert, gjenbrukbar og enklere å vedlikeholde. Kurset, ledet av erfaren systemutvikler og instruktør Magnus Kvendseth Øye, vil veilede deg gjennom nøkkelkonsepter innen OOP i Python. I løpet av kurset vil du lære å se på koden din som en samling av dynamiske objekter som samhandler med hverandre. Du vil utforske følgende emner: Kapittel 1: Introduksjon Kapittel 2: Klasser og egenskaper Kapittel 3: Metoder Kapittel 4: Representasjon Kapittel 5: Arv Kapittel 6: Prosjekt Kapittel 7: Avslutning Med Magnus Kvendseth Øye som din veileder, vil du få en solid forståelse av hvordan du kan bruke OOP-prinsipper i Python for å skape ren, effektiv og strukturert kode. Dette kurset gir deg muligheten til å ta dine Python-ferdigheter til neste nivå.   Varighet: 3 timer og 8 minutter   Om Utdannet.no: Utdannet.no tilbyr noen av landets beste digitale nettkurs.
