In my Object-Oriented Programming course, I focused on the core principles of object-oriented programming, such as encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction. I learned how to design classes and create objects, making my code more modular and reusable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout the course, I explored how to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Design Classes and Define Relationships<\/strong>: I structured classes and established relationships like inheritance and composition to create more organized, maintainable code.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Apply Design Patterns<\/strong>: I learned common design patterns, such as Singleton, Factory, and Observer, to tackle common software design challenges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Use Encapsulation and Data Hiding<\/strong>: I practiced safeguarding data within objects and controlling access to maintain data integrity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Implement Polymorphism and Interfaces<\/strong>: I applied polymorphism to allow objects to behave in different ways, creating flexible, adaptable code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This course strengthened my understanding of object-oriented programming and equipped me with techniques to write efficient, organized, and scalable code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout the course, we completed several projects, one of which was a group project where we had several teams all dedicating their time to coding small snippets that were interchangeable and worked together when uploaded to a GitHub repository. It taught me a lot about project management, and the real process a team goes through when trying to communicate needs to an end goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
