Flutter & Dart - The Complete Flutter App Development Course

A question about Classes and functions (nouns and verbs)

Hey All,

​

So for all intents and purposes dart is my first OOP programming language. I'm working through a the course Flutter & Dart - The Complete flutter App Development Course and am taking some time to practice all the concepts I've learned from the course up to Object Oriented Programming - Introduction. As such I'm trying to create classes I can use in the project I hope to make when completing this course and I have a question for more experienced OOP programmers...

​

I've been told that Classes should be nouns and functions should be verbs, I've been trying to write my classes to those ends but now I find myself at a weird point. So I'm trying to model a music band and I'm thinking an attribute of the band class would be their albums, which would have properties like release date, genre, track listing, etc...But that;s not a band. So my question is do you typically group things up like this so that related classes are within one comprehensive class OR do you create a bunch of different classes and create functions within a particular class to instantiate instances of relevant objects?

​

Thanks for reading, hope to hear back from you!

Here is the course I was referring to

There are plenty of good resources that assume Dart/Flutter is your first time programming. There will be parts you don't understand but if you just push through and learn how to copy/paste you will eventually get what everything is doing. Most Udemy courses start pretty much from scratch, for example, or some of the codelabs and tutorials by the Flutter team are for absolute beginners.

This guy does a great job of explaining the concepts and you go through multiple apps.
