This is an additional course for those that did not get a seat on the 18./19: August event.

Content

This course will give a hands-on introduction to the concept of Object-Oriented Programming, a popular and powerful approach to problem solving by describing the involved components and their interactions.

We will introduce the involved concepts from the very beginning using Python as our language of choice.

The last exercise on Friday is open-end, to give you an opportunity to practise some more while an instructor is at hand to help you out.

Required Tools/Knowledge

• A basic knowledge of the Python language (variables, functions, loops, conditions)
• A working Python setup (The instructors will use Thonny for the workshop but you can bring whatever suits you)
