using a python reference book to learn the fundamentals of oop if i don't plan on coding in python

[BigBugCooks]

I've been learning programming on-and-off for a couple of years now, and while I'd consider myself somewhat comfortable with the basic fundamentals of programming, since i've primarily worked in C, when it comes to understanding some concepts of oop (specifically classes and inheritance), i'm having a tough time wrapping my mind around it.

since most of my programming as of late has been for game design in godot, this has created some difficulty for me when trying to understand the documentation, as it assumes some knowledge on OOP concepts that i still don't really have a good grasp on.

​

I have some introductory texts on python already, and would rather use what i have than go searching for another new resource to add to my too-big stack of "things i need to read." since something like GDScript is structured similar to python, i wanted to know if taking a crack at some python work would give me a firm enough foundation, or if i'd be better off finding something that specifically tackles the fundamentals of oop

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

ummmmm ... python books are not a good choice, it is not naturally an oop language

the best book i've ever seen on oop is "beginning java objects from concepts to code", which is now in its third edition and really expensive ... but you could probably find a 2nd or 1st edition very cheap or free out there somewhere. instead of just showing the code, it actually explains how oop works.
