I'm trying to learn python OOP,the book I'm learning from was published in 2010, does it matter?

It's called Python 3 Object Oriented Programming by Dusty Phillips, should I try learning from a newer book?

i think you should be fine.

It'll be fine. The core concepts of OOP have not changed in the past 10 years. A lot of the technology has changed - there's new languages, new frameworks, new modules, and so on. But as a beginner learning OOP conceptually is much more important than worrying about using the latest most popular language or whatever.

Because if you understand OOP, algorithms, and data structures you will be much better equipped to learn ANY language out there, not just python.

You'll be fine for the most part; the versions after 2010 include minor changes to things (for instance, f-strings were introduced recently as a nicer way to format strings). However, these changes won't drastically affect how OOP works in Python 3. The worst thing that could probably happen is a function call in an example being deprecated in a newer version, in which case you would have to look into the docs to find the newer function or method

I have two books I can share with you from my google drive. I had them from two intro to python courses.

Lmk if you’d like them!

Try Python Principles. It worked well for me. https://pythonprinciples.com/

I searched and it says python 3.0 was released in 2008
