This course is designed to teach Object-Oriented programming concepts, techniques, and applications using the Python programming language. Introduces the fundamental concept of programming from an object oriented perspective. Topics are drawn from classes and objects, abstraction, encapsulation, data types, calling methods and passing parameters, decisions, loops, arrays and collections, documentation, testing and debugging, exceptions, design issues, inheritance and polymorphic variables and methods. The course emphasize modern software engineering and design principles.

Solving computational problems that involve manipulating collections of data, study a core set of data abstractions, data structures, and algorithms that provide a foundation for writing efficient programs.

This course focuses on programming paradigms and constructs, data structures and use of standard library functions for manipulating them, object-oriented design and the use of modeling languages, testing and software quality concepts, and tradeoffs among different software design methods.
