Python Basics: Your First Steps Into Programming
A complete beginner-friendly introduction to Python, covering the essential building blocks of programming with hands-on practice.
This quest takes your Python skills to the next level by introducing Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) — one of the most powerful ways to structure and organize code.
You’ll start by understanding what OOP is and why it’s used everywhere from small scripts to large applications. Then you’ll get hands-on practice with:
- Creating objects and classes — defining blueprints and building instances.
- Inheritance — reusing and extending existing code.
- Using super() — calling parent class methods for cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Private methods and variables — controlling access and protecting your data.
By the end of this quest, you’ll know how to model real-world problems in Python using OOP principles, making your programs more modular, readable, and scalable.
