And every developer has a preferred way of working, which makes it difficult to set any hard and fast rules. But this doesn’t mean you should dive into your development projects head first, without guidelines or a methodology—albeit a flexible one—to inform the way forward.

OOP Concept for Beginners: What is Encapsulation

Encapsulation is one of the fundamental concepts in object-oriented programming (OOP). Let’s examine how it’s done and unwrap some examples for this concept.
