Course Overview

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) using Python. It covers Python basics, control structures, functions, data structures, and gradually progresses to OOP concepts like classes, objects, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, and exception handling.

Week-by-Week Plan

  1. Week 1 (Introduction to Python):

    • Installing necessary tools (VS-code, Python interpreter).
    • Overview and history of Python.
    • Setting up the development environment.

  2. Week 2 (Basics of Python):

    • Variables and data types in Python.
    • Basic operators and expressions.
    • Printing output to the screen.

  3. Week 3 (Python Program Execution):
