==========> Reason to choose this class:
You will be able to- 
** learn what professional software test engineers do in the tech industries like Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google (FAANG) 
** learn object oriented programming (OOP)
** learn Selenium which is a framework for testing web applications
** develop strong problem solving skill
** Understanding the basics of algorithm
** learn how to be more organized in coding- clean coding 
** debug code (finding bugs in the their code and fix them)
** enhance coding skill by building projects which aim to fix website defects
** learn to work on complex real-world projects

Hello junior coders! 
If you have some experience with Java/Python/JavaScript/C++, I believe that now you are ready to learn the next level of programming- Object Oriented Programming (OOP)!

==========> What is OOP?
OOP: Instead of functions/methods and logics, Object-oriented programming (OOP) organizes software design based on objects. An object can be defined as a data field that has unique attributes and behaviors. OOP focuses on the objects that developers/programmers want to manipulate rather than the logic required to manipulate them. "OOP is a powerful way of designing software by creating your own types that encapsulate behavior and data." 

==========> Prerequisites
If you are interested in this class, I am hoping that you have good understanding of the following concepts from another Java/Python class. 
1. Data types (int, double, float, string, Boolean)
2. Conditional Statements
3. Loops and nested loops
4. Logical Operators
5. Arrays/Lists
6. Methods/Functions (not mandatory but good to have some basics)

If you are not familiar with the above-mentioned concepts and have not completed any entry-level coding classes yet, please complete some basic coding classes. 

I am offering 4 entry-level Python classes that will cover the topics mentioned above

==========> What will you learn?
You will learn the four main concepts of OOP along with Selenium.

Object-oriented programming System(OOPs) is based on the concept of “objects” that contain data and methods. The primary purpose of object-oriented programming is a easier way to make changes in the programs and maintain them on a regular basis. OOP brings together data and its behavior(methods) in a single location(object), making it easier to understand how a program works. Basically, Java OOP concepts let us create working methods and variables, then re-use all or part of them without much difficulties

Let's see what you are going to learn in each of the weeks!
