Welcome to my material for tutoring OOP concepts. This material covers popular class-based invocation-oriented OOP that was popularized by languages like: C++, Objective-C, C#, and Java programming languages.

Then see how these concepts are applied in inspection-oriented OOP languages like Groovy, Python, and Ruby.

I am working on seeing how these concepts can be applied to prototype-based OOP language of JavaScript, and related alternatives of Dart, CoffeeScript, and TypeScript. These are currently (Dec 15, 2014) under experimentation, as JavaScript is a little tricky.

After this, I may dabble with languages like Go, Rust, and Swift.

Currently I am working on a cumulative installation guide called Objective Box:

• https://github.com/darkn3rd/oop-tut/blob/master/OBJECTIVEBOX.md

These are the topics ironed out so far (still under development)

This is a simple Person class and object with a method that says "HelloWorld".

• 📚 Class and Object
  • 📗 Class Declaration and Class Method (A00)
  • 📗 Object Instantiation and Instance Method (A10)
• 📚 Class Variable and Object Variable
  • 📗 Class Variable (B00)
  • 📗 Instance Variable (B10)

This uses a Person and Student metaphor, where Student is a type of a Person.

• 📚 Encapsulation and Access
  • 📗 Accessors and Mutators (C00)
  • 📗 Properties (C10)
  • 📗 Overloading Methods (C20)
  • 📗 Methods Variable Parameters (C30)
• 📚 Construction (Initialization)
  • 📗 Constructor (D00)
  • 📗 Constructor with parameters (D10)
  • 📗 Destructor (D20)
• 📚 Overloading Constructors
  • 📗 Single Constructors (E00)
  • 📗 Multiple Constructors (E10)
  • 📗 Delegated Constructor (E20)
  • 📗 Dynamic Constructor (E30)
• 📚 Class Variables
  • 📗 Class Method (F00)
• 📚 Immutability
  • 📗 Immutable Fields (G00)
• 📚 Inheritance
  • 📗 Parent Methods (H00)
  • 📗 Parent Fields (H10)
  • 📗 Parent Constructor (H20)

This uses an abstract Shape and concrete Triangle and Rectangle to illustrate concepts in this section.

• 📚 Overriding
  • 📗 Override Methods (I00)
• 📚 Abstraction
  • 📗 Abstract Methods (J00)
• 📚 Interface
  • 📗 Interface Methods (K00)

There are some other components that are not touched yet, but may add them later. This includes operator overloading, copy constructors, type casting, templates, metaprogramming. A few designated targets include:

• 📚 MixIns (K00)
• 📚 Sealing (L00)
• 📚 Freezing (M00)

I am making a ad-hoc task list TASK.MD to track my research and activities of this project.
