Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that people can use to model the real world problems. This unit provides advanced practice in object-oriented concepts using Python programming language and its relevant advanced features. Python is an interpreted, high-level and general-purpose programming language, and it is widely used in many cutting-edge technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics and IoT development. This unit aims to provide students with a solid foundation in object-oriented programming skills using Python in different complex scenarios, and to prepare students for further learning in AI and Data Science.
