Object oriented programming. What is it?That was my biggest question when I started programming. It took me many months to get the object oriented programming concept fully cemented in my mind. Now I will help you get object orientation in less than an hour. Avoid needlessly complicated explanations that you find on the internet, as I explain everything in PLAIN language. Object Oriented programming (OOP) is used in almost every popular language out there, be it Java, C#, Javascript or PHP. Youll also need it for iOS and Android apps if you make those-Review of this course-Very good explanations and organisation of material. A good companion while learning the code in other courses to get a complete approach to programming in an object orientated way-When I learnt object oriented programming it was from videos made by boring instructors. I wanted it to be fun and thats why everything I explain is illustrated using Lego. Lego is the perfect tool because it is exactly like programming they both are construction tools, used to build a final product. We will do a little light programming during the course to demonstrate what OOP is. Our language of choice is C# because we can write it in the excellent (and free) cross platform software: Xamarin. Xamarin allows us to learn object oriented programming in C# on PC, Mac or Linux. You do not need to know any C# (or even basic programming) beforehand. Course highlightsFundamental object oriented programming concepts are explainedA few more advanced ideas are covered tooSome homework to get you thinkingFantastic Lego illustrationsWhat are the requirements? A PC with internet access to set up Xamarin (an open source .Net engine)You can also run Xamarin on a Mac (or Mono-Develop on Linux)What will you get from this course?12 carefully sculpted lectures, complete with excellent Lego illustrations! Learn to code by thinking in an Object Oriented mannerMake beautiful, concisely written code the number one asset coveted by anyone looking to hire developersMake a start in professional software development (freelance rates in the USA are $60 - $150 per hour)Who is the target audience?Anyone that wants to earn a very healthy living writing and creating softwarePeople looking to improve their own knowledge of object oriented concepts
