• group data in objects by using classes, initializers, encapsulation and inheritance
• visualize and communicate your classes with the help of UML diagrams.
• decouple and refactor growing code by using polymorphism and dependency injection
• avoid an explosion of subclasses by knowing when to favor composition over inheritance
• test your code for correctness, by creating and executing unit tests.

Requirements

• Beginner level knowledge of Python, or any other programming language
• Understanding the problem of growing, unreadable code

Target audience

• Beginner Python developers who want to organise their code better by using OOP
• Developers that bring experience from another programming language who want to learn using OOP with Python
• Developers that inherit spaghetti code from others at work and need bring structure to it
