Python OOP for Absolute Beginners (Classes & Objects): self, __init__, attributes & methods — explained in 10 minutes (Video)

New to Python and stuck on OOP? This beginner video makes Python classes simple.
If words like object-oriented programming, classes, and objects feel abstract, this walkthrough is designed for absolute beginners. It breaks OOP into a clear mental model, then shows how Python actually uses self and __init__ in real code.

✅ What you learn in a clear and accessible way**:**

• Explain class vs object in one sentence
• Understand self (why it’s there and how method calls work)
• Use __init__ to set up object state
• Create and use attributes and methods correctly
• Avoid common beginner errors (like forgetting self. or confusing class vs instance data)
