Python Tutorial 18: Understanding Python Methods and Classes

You guys can help me out over at Patreon, and that will help me keep my gear updated, and help me keep this quality content coming:

In this video we show step-by-step instructions on how to understand and use Python Classes and Python Methods. We give sample programs and demonstration code to make this an easy to learn example. We write demonstration code and give examples and solutions. I do not assume you are an expert, so these lessons are designed for complete beginners.

This is... by far... the best training video on Classes and Methods out there. Thanks Paul

Boom! Something just clicked in my head. I tried to develop an app for my iPad using Xcode and Swift. Not ever having taken any official programming courses I got lost very quickly. I didn’t understand classes properly and didn’t get this self thing. You can’t learn everything from a book and YouTube videos. Unless the YouTube teacher is Paul McWhorter!

I have never EVER had someone teach me OOP in a manner that cemented the concepts. You did that today. I thank you Paul.

I didn't have time to take the class but as every week I expect your lesson Paul, God bless you

My Dear Professor, While watching your Videos I feel myself standing alongside you and having a real-life non-virtual course thanks to your Beautiful way of teaching. I genuinely think that you are the Best Teacher ever who is giving classes on Python. Also, One of the most crucial things you affirm is the Fact of Practicing the knowledge we get from your lessons, few need to think and understand the Problem-Solving process! As of that, We will be filled with Confidence after Figuring out the Solution. MY BIG BROTHER! I HOPE YOU ARE DOING VERY WELL. I WISH YOU A HEALTHY LIFE!

Despite majoring in Mechanical Engineering at UH, I hold your playlists to a much higher regard. I already learned python and C++ but I feel like I'll miss something if I don't watch your videos. You've pushed me into 3D printing, programming, robotics, artificial intelligence, and so much more. Beyond grateful for your videos. Hopefully one day I can pass down my knowledge like you....You don't truly understand something until you can explain it to somebody else as clearly as you do

I AM LEGEND! It took a while to understand the basics of Classes and Methods, but I managed to complete the homework in one evening.

Working so hard on youtube and barely making youtube money, thank you!

[fbmiglb]

i was lost without you, paul ... thank you for saving me

[patis.IA-AI]

it's crystal clear thanks , we dont need programmers but teachers like you

[gordonspond]

Ich bin eine Legende. Thanks Paul for this great class. Back in 1993, I taught myself C++ programming from a book and got into Object Oriented Programming... and then I got married, we had kids and I did very little programming for over 20 years. Kids are now out of college and I am getting back in the game! Really excited about your Arduino and Python classes!

that was the quickest 42 minutes on YouTube (in a good way). Very clear and understandable explanation of classes and methods. Thank you!

Just finished a day's Jury service, great video. Will watch again this weekend, think I finally got classes and methods.

I have struggled to learn OOP specifically about the Class and Object in the past few days despite I have watched many videos about these topics BUT after watching this video, I do understand them (Class & Object) clearly. As such, I could say that so far this is the best video about OOP. Thank you very much Paul for such valued video. May God bless you.

This was an extremely helpful video which I will insist my students watch. I really love the way you explain the subject matter and add ideas in as you go along. In the real world, you often have to learn how to modify your code as you're working on it. By that, I mean writing a program and then having to add onto it. Another great lesson. I've really enjoyed doing these lessons and the Arduino lessons even though I teach this stuff. I'm currently going trough your ultrasonic sensor and servo video, which is a brilliant pairing of components. Thanks Paul.

Congratulations!!! I have been watching YouTube videos for years and this video is the first that I have ever seen with "0" dislikes. Excellent job Mr. McWhorter!! With respect to many videos watched, many of them didn't deserve the dislikes they received, but some people just have to be haters.

[chrisingram]

Thanks Paul, this video really helped clarified the whole 'object' class in Python.

[callmerel]

pls upload all your python vids. I can watch 8 of your videos a day. Can't get enough.

[JimmyWheel]

Paul, you explain class and methods better than anybody else I have come across! Many thanks

[vaughntaylor]

Paul, This was the BEST explanation I have seen on the explanation and relationship between Classes, Methods, Objects and their interaction! Thank You!
