A beginner-friendly introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts using Java. Covers the core ideas of classes, instances, attributes (instance variables), methods, constructors, and the 'this' keyword. Uses an Antelope class as a running example to demonstrate how to define a class, instantiate objects, call methods, and understand public vs. private access modifiers. Ends with a practical guideline for approaching OO design by describing a problem in plain English first.
