This lesson starts a new segment about Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) — an important set of concepts critical to understanding any modern software, not just modern embedded software.

Reusability in object-oriented programming Since the dawn of computer programming, different programming challenges have spawned different approaches, paradigms, and architectural styles.

The object-oriented paradigm popularized by languages including Java and C++ has slowly given way to a functional programming approach that is advocated by popular Python libraries and JavaScript ...

The Actor Model is a style of software architecture in which the basic computational unit is called an actor. An actor is similar to a class in object-oriented programming, in that it encapsulates ...
