"OOPs, Everything’s an Object - How to think in an object-oriented way"

Abstract: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that has revolutionized the way developers design and build software. At its core, OOP is about thinking in terms of objects and their interactions, rather than focusing on individual functions or procedures.

This lecture provides an overview of the key OOP principles. Students will learn how to identify objects and their relationships, and how to design classes and methods that represent these objects in code.

The learning goal of this lecture is to convey a solid understanding of how to think in an object-oriented way, and how to apply OOP principles to create more flexible, scalable, and maintainable software systems.
