Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects", which may contain data, in the form of fields, often known as attributes; and code, in the form of procedures, often known as methods.^[1] It includes concepts such as abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and message passing.

This course is comprised of 11 lessons on applied object-oriented programming. It is an extension of the Applied Programming course, intended to apply the similar programming concepts using an object-oriented approach. Each lesson includes a combination of Wikipedia and Internet-based readings, YouTube videos, and hands-on, interactive learning activities.

This is a third-semester, college-level course. Learners should already be familiar with computer programming. Experience with Internet fundamentals and applied programming is recommended.
