What you'll learn

Big picture understanding of what programs are and why even use Object Oriented Programming
4 Main pillars of Object Oriented Programming
Down To Earth examples to let you fully understand each concept
How to utilize each pillar of Object Oriented Programming in your own project

Requirements

We will be using Visual Studio Code so you can download and install it yourself or do it along with me during the course
Recommended for you to already know C# (c sharp) basics such as variables, expressions, flow of control statement etc

Description

Object Oriented Programming just sounds unnecessary complex. It is not complex. In this course I want to take you on to a journey where I show you, in simple and succinct examples, how Object Oriented Programming works.

I will not be using confusing academia jargon in order to sound smart or glossing over details too quickly to leave you out in the dark. I will be here with you each and every step of the way until you fully grasp what Object Oriented Programming is.

Now a question you might have is WHY learn Object Oriented Programming? Great question and the answer is money. That is correct money. Object Oriented Programming or OOP in short teaches you how to organize your program in a way in which it makes it maintainable, scalable and readable. These are the main aspects for which you get paid for as a software developer or a web developer.

Now let's look at some numbers. .NET (and more specifically C# (C Sharp)) developers make anywhere from 80K - 100K+ (obviously the range would depend on where you reside), but the point is that C# (C Sharp) is not only a valuable skill but a profitable one as well.

Now the market is full of people who are switching from other majors to get into software development or web development but the problem is that they are clumsy coders. The reason is because... as you have already guessed: they don't know how to write maintainable, scalable and readable code. By learning Object Oriented Programming you are differentiating yourself from a sea of developers and getting to the top of the hierarchy.

Even if you are a freelancer and have no reason to look for a job you still WANT your code to be maintainable, scalable and readable. Of course you do.

Now as a beginner you will enjoy this course because I am not going to be focusing on writing complex software. All of the code written is going to be pretty simple since I am going to be spending all of my energy and focus on explaining the core concepts of Object Oriented Programming.

The 4 main pillars of Object Oriented Programming are going to be demystified and by the end of this course you will be a master at defining what each of pillars mean and how they work most importantly.

Inheritance, Polymorphism - static and dynamic, Encapsulation and Abstraction. These are the 4 main pillars you need to understand and as already mentioned I will be dissecting them one by one in this course so that by the end of it you are fully competent at taking these concepts and using them in you own applications.

I look forward to having you as my student and sharing with you all that I have gathered along the years of practice, hard work and listening to my own mentors.

Who this course is for:

Anyone who is fascinated and interested in learning Object Oriented Programming or knows it but wants to fill in any gaps in their knowledge
Anyone who doesn’t just want to watch these videos for entertainment but actually wants to implement the lessons learned
Anyone who takes pride in their code and wants to constantly improve their skillset
