In this course, Object-oriented Programming in Java, you’ll learn to work with the most important entities in Java: objects and classes.
First, you’ll learn how to work with object references and avoid the common rookie mistakes. Next, you’ll see how to define your own classes, tuning their interface with encapsulation. Finally, you’ll get familiar with two power tools: inheritance and polymorphism. Along the way, you’ll get to know essential Java features like interfaces, and you’ll even get a few design tips.
By the end of this course, you’ll know enough object-oriented programming to tackle real-life Java projects. It’s time to up your Java game!
