Because of that, I’ve been making sure I actually understand Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Let’s be honest, most of us IT students "know" what OOP is. We have memorized tons of academic definitions just to pass our university exams. But if someone asked you right now to explain it, do you really have the confidence to do it?
