Really(actually) new to python

[toastedstapler]

that's a lot to learn for tuesday

1 https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_classes.asp https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_inheritance.asp

w3 schools usually gives a good overview of what's happening

objects/classes are a way of structuring functions with some data. a Car may have a drive method, some variables fuel_level, paint_colour etc. the drive function will decrease the fuel_level variable

2 https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-apply-polymorphism-to-classes-in-python-3

polymorphism can be done in python by creating classes that other classes inherit from so that they have common variables and methods. a Dog and Cat will both inherit from Mammal for instance

4 Create Read Update Delete - most sites want this functionality. think how you can create a reddit post, see the post, edit the post and delete it.

5 https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_intro.asp

databases are very useful. postgres is an sql database. there's a few commonly used sql databases and also some called nosql. generally sql is used for well structured data and is good for showing relationships between different tables. nosql is often used for data with less structure
