What is the difference between The 2Courses -> Object Oriented Python & Object Oriented Python(retired)?

Hi Kenneth Love, I am Prateek and I have been learning Python at Treehouse. I have done the Object Oriented Python(retired) course. Few days back when I was going through the courses in the Course Library, I came across the Object Oriented Python Course(the new one) and it had more or less the same content.

So I want to know if I should do the new course to stay upto date with the syntax or can I omit it. And I also want to know the differences between the two courses.

Thank You

The syntax for OO in Python hasn't changed. The old course wasn't a great introduction to the subject matter so it's been redone. This new version is a much better overview of classes, instances, methods, etc in Python and how to think about OO.
