[HELP] Object-Oriented Python

Need help with Object-Oriented Python. Just finished the course, but still do not understand it at all. I feel like I'm writing code that I can't even see. In the course we used a lot of 'self', '@classmethods', 'cls', 'super().init' , etc.. and It's just hard for me to make sense of what I'm writing because it feels like I'm writing code that just repeats itself but at the same time I know that's not the case.

Do you guys have any recommendation on what kind of resources(websites, videos, etc) I need to go through so that I have a better understanding of OOP?

Thanks!

I felt the same immediately after, I found it was a lot of info to take in and like you wasn't really sure what each bit was for.

What I did was build something outside of Treehouse in Python. I downloaded Pycharm (python code editor) and built a program utilisng classes, class properties, class methods etc. I kept referring back to the videos and then it all started to make sense.

Maybe worth trying that too.
