Object Oriented Programming What is it Pt 2

[szLynAs]

I did not find the voice very nice . Try to speak slowly, then it might be good to listen.

Nice presentation BTW

[derekbanas]

@szLynAs This was an early tutorial. My new stuff is much more professional and doesn't have any music :)

[szLynAs]

@derekbanas Great :)

[phillipmai242]

I'm learning programming, when you say function in oop do you mean method or are they the same thing.

[derekbanas]

@phillipmai242 Technically a function in an object is called a method. Aside from the jargon they are in essence the same thing

[phillipmai242]

@derekbanas so in a class they are called functions and as an object they are methods?

[martinprovost2]

Very clear presentation.

Thanks for this great FREE tutorial on OOP.

[soltau2321]

yeah. thank for the explanation . i found it very useful.

[derekbanas]

@soltau2321 Thank you. I'm glad you liked it

[soltau2321]

i have a problem with the terms objects and class. i am not sure i understand these two words and how you use them, plz help

[derekbanas]

@soltau2321 When you want to build an Object which is a self contained group of variables and functions you need a blueprint. That blue print is called a class. A class defines all of the variables and functions every object must have. A every dog class has the variables name and a function bark. Then each individual dog object would have its own name and special bark function. Does that make sense?

[frostshadow5]

made a class called 'tune-up' sounded like tuna. bucky anyone?

[Eady2007]

You explain everything very well. I enjoy watching and got a lot out of the video. I'm going to look at your programming videos for now now.

[derekbanas]

@Eady2007 Thank you :) I have a ton of programming videos that I've really worked to improve. My newer stuff should really help you because I think I've gotten much better

[templarart]

I appreciate the tutorial but I'm afraid it was too abstract for me. I just got lost trying to follow the metaphors without actual, real-world coding examples.

[derekbanas]

@templarart Sorry about that. I did a tutorial called Python How to Program Pt 6 that covers oop in a much better format. I use real code. It should work better for you

[templarart]

@derekbanas Thanks, I checked out the PHP version and understood it right away. Great tutorial! You're providing a real service for us wanna-be programmers.

[derekbanas]

@templarart Super! I'm glad you liked it. I've gotten much better at doing tutorials recently. Stick with it. It isn't that hard to learn how to do most anything through programming :)

[4xtraATL]

you said JAVA is a terrible first language...is that because it is difficult for a beginner to learn??

Python sounds like some sort of an editor (never heard of it)

[derekbanas]

@4xtraATL Python is a very powerful language that is extremely easy to learn because it just makes sense. It's hard to explain. Most people who are new to programming can normally understand it. Java on the other hand is great but much harder to read. I hope that makes sense

[4xtraATL]

I am changing my major to CIS this summer an I am seeking guidance because the syllabus is OOP heavy.

I have a Novell Background so I have a foundation I will be watching your site closely

but trust me,...your site is FAR better than the others but assume everyone is a beginner because some "advanced" people are not as advanced as they "think" they are because when it comes to programming there are a million variables in every single step of the way.

[derekbanas]

@4xtraATL My python tutorial is probably the best one for learning oop. JavaScript and PHP aren't true oop languages, but Python is. Java is another true oop language, but I think it is a terrible first language to learn. As per job prospects for CS majors I have no idea. I get tons of work, but I have a ton of contacts, experience and I'm cheap :) I'm glad to help in anyway I can

[4xtraATL]

In your opinion is oop the field to be in?

[derekbanas]

@4xtraATL OOP is just the preferred way to program. Actually people normally use what are called design patterns in modern programming. I will cover this topic at some point. For example the iPhone is programmed in what is known as the Model View Controller pattern by default. I normally always use MVC in my code in every language. I hope that answers your question

[4xtraATL]

if you did a live screen shot from the program this would be more thorough..

I like the tutorial

and like the guy below...I am more of a VISUAL type learner.

[derekbanas]

@4xtraATL I've created many better oop videos recently. I made them using live over the shoulder explanations like you asked for. Go to my channel and search for oop. My best oop tutorial is done in python, but I also have one in php, JavaScript and objective c. Thanks :)

[tyronecrawford1]

I like how you articulate it, but you could show yourself doing it. Most people are more visual. I might as well read a book on it.

[derekbanas]

@tyronecrawford1 I agree I've gotten better at doing video tutorials lately. Check out my tutorial called Python 2.7 Tutorial Pt 7. I think it may be what your looking for and definitely more interactive. Hope you like it
