I was expecting (hoping) to see in depth documentation relating to Class
construction, extension mechanisms and runtime polymorphism.
In addition to this forum for direct help and discussion, two
suggestions: Firstly, it could help if you mentioned what programming
languages you are fluent in
For the past 9 years I have been developing in Java [...]
Java is usually called an OOP language, because everything you do there
is put into a class. Free functions don't exist, the closest you get is
class-static functions (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not really fluent
in that language). In Python, you have the choice to use OOP, but you
can also use free functions or mix those.
I'm not used to using variables without declaring their type
As a C++ programmer (roughly 80%C++, 15%Python, 5%C) I know that
feeling. Having types declared in advance just helps by having the
compiler check if the passed arguments are correct. Not having this
gives both freedom but also bears dangers.
what's this obsession with 'correct' indentation of code ???
You'll get used to it and then start loving it.
