This document provides an introduction to object-oriented programming concepts. It defines object-oriented programming as a paradigm based on implementing real-world entities like objects and classes. The main benefits of OOP are reusability of code, flexibility, and increased maintainability, though it can be more complex to plan. Key concepts explained include classes, which provide blueprints for creating objects with states and behaviors. Inheritance allows classes to inherit attributes and methods from super classes. Other concepts are encapsulation, which binds code and variables together; abstraction, which hides unnecessary details; and polymorphism, which allows single actions to be performed in different ways.
