Python Object-Oriented Python Instant Objects Master Class

Any recommendations for additional reading on Object-Oriented Programming?

Working through the Object-Oriented Python course, but I'm starting to feel like I'm grasping at straws a bit. I reckon I haven't got the full idea of the concept and could do with some decent reference material on the topic.

I've been doing fine so far throughout the course and I'm not unfamiliar with Python but any links or helpful tips would be appreciated!

It may seems perfunctory, but the Python docs have great tutorials. The tutorial on Classes has a fantastic overview.

To dig further into the magic ("dunder") methods and a lower level understanding, check out the data model reference in the docs.

There is SO much info at https://www.python.org/doc/!

Post back if you have a specific aspect of classes you wish to know more about. Good luck!!
