Course syllabus
Deep Dive into Python Classes and Objects
Lay the groundwork for Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) by exploring how to define classes, create objects, understand attributes and methods, and delve into the `__init__` constructor and the `self` parameter. Focus on practical class design principles.
- Core Concepts: Classes, Objects, Attributes, and Methods (19 questions)
- Mastering Special Methods (Dunder Methods) for Custom Behavior (20 questions)
- Building Hierarchies: Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Abstract Base Classes (21 questions)
- Advanced Class Design: Static, Class Methods, and Properties for Encapsulation (16 questions)
Inheritance and Polymorphism
Master core OOP principles with inheritance, method overriding, using `super()` for parent class methods, and understanding the power of polymorphism. Explore abstract base classes and interfaces for structured design.
- Introduction to Inheritance: Building Class Hierarchies (25 questions)
- Polymorphism and Advanced Inheritance (11 questions)
- Abstract Base Classes: Defining Interfaces and Contracts (27 questions)
Advanced OOP Features and Design Patterns
Further your OOP skills by exploring special methods (dunder methods) for custom behavior, properties for controlled attribute access, static and class methods, and an introduction to common design patterns for robust object-oriented code.
- Descriptors, Slots, and Metaclasses: Deep Dive into Class Creation (23 questions)
- Enforcing Structure with ABCs and Enhancing Classes with Decorators (28 questions)
- Practical Design Patterns I: Building Flexible and Maintainable Systems (21 questions)
- Practical Design Patterns II: Orchestrating Object Interactions and Best Practices (26 questions)
File I/O and Data Persistence
Learn to interact with the file system: reading from and writing to text files, handling various file modes, utilizing context managers (`with` statement) for safe file operations, and performing basic CSV and JSON file handling.
- Core File Operations: Reading and Writing Text Files (24 questions)
- Robust File Handling: Error Management and Context Managers (25 questions)
- Structured Data Persistence: Working with CSV and JSON (4 questions)
- Object Serialization: Storing Python Objects with Pickle (23 questions)
Organizing Code with Modules and Packages
Understand how to structure larger Python projects using modules and packages. Learn about `import` statements, the Python module search path (`sys.path`), creating your own packages, and exploring useful standard library modules.
- Introduction to Python Modules: The Building Blocks (20 questions)
- Crafting Custom Modules and Understanding Scope (24 questions)
- Organizing Code with Python Packages (23 questions)
- Navigating Packages: Absolute, Relative Imports & Best Practices (20 questions)
Error Handling, Logging, and Debugging
Implement robust and reliable code with comprehensive error handling using `try-except-finally` blocks, creating custom exception types, best practices for logging messages, and practical debugging techniques to identify and resolve issues.
- Introduction to Error Handling: Exceptions (13 questions)
- Advanced Error Handling and Context Managers (30 questions)
- Logging for Application Monitoring and Debugging (22 questions)
- Debugging Strategies and Tools (20 questions)
