>> Hello,

>> I will be teaching a course called “Python: Object-Oriented Programming” through the University of California Santa Cruz - Extension Silicon Valley (in Santa Clara.)  This is an intermediate course that is designed for people who have a basic understanding of the Python language, and want to go on to the next level of programming.  It assumes that you have taken an introductory course at UCSC-Extension or elsewhere (or have learned Python on your own), and can write small to medium sized programs in Python. 
>> 
>> The focus of the course is on gaining a solid understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP).  The approach is to use simple computer games, which we will build using the Pygame package.  I will explain how graphical user interface elements (GUI) like buttons, text input/output boxes, radio buttons, etc. are built using OOP, and how they work in an "event-driven" program.  We'll go into detail about the three main tenets of OOP: encapsulation, polymorphism, and inheritance.  While my approach is to use games, the techniques being taught are applicable to almost all fields of software.
>> 
>> 
>> The course starts this Wednesday,June 21st, and will meet on eight Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 9:30 pm.  All class meetings will be held online through Zoom.  The course will be very hands-on, with lots of sample code.   
>> 
>> Sign ups are open to the general public and there is still time to register.  (Current enrollment is very low.)  The course fee is $750.   UCSC-Extension Silicon Valley is accredited by various bodies through the University of California, Santa Cruz, and many employers will reimburse the cost of the course.
