In this tutorial we will explore how classes work and look at tips and tricks for getting the most out of them. By the end you should have, not only a much better understanding of what Python classes are, but also some new ideas for writing better code.
This first part of the tutorial presents some introductory and intermediate topics. The focus being on an intimate understanding of how classes work in Python.
