Object-Oriented Programming
This module will provide you with an object-oriented programming skillset. You’ll learn what objects and classes are and how to write classes. You’ll see how objects can interact with each other, including defining and implementing interfaces to control the interaction. You’ll learn how to use inheritance to extend functionality from parent classes. You’ll learn how to write code according to style guidelines and how to write formal code documentation.

IDE warning
The programme’s director said that “you cannot do the work in the second half of the course in Windows with VSCode, so people would need to install Visual Studio eventually anyway.”
