Course Overview:

The Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) course is designed to provide you with a solid foundation in the principles and practices of object-oriented programming. This course will teach you how to design, implement, and maintain complex software systems using the object-oriented paradigm. You will learn key concepts such as classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation, and apply these concepts through hands-on coding exercises and projects.
