Inheritance is not something some egghead cooked up in a laboratory. On the contrary, it's nature's model for all living things.

From the simplest atom to the most complex organism, inheritance is evident everywhere you look:

1. Start with a base model (all the basic parts)
2. Feed a small bit of unique data into the base model
3. In return, you get unique implementations (variations) of the base model

This simple model is sufficient to describe every element, species, and organic thing on Earth. It is the blueprint for all life.

It's also the blueprint for efficient, dynamic software. If you want software to do more things, you need to use inheritance to create—and maintain—it.

In this video, I will introduce you to the concept of inheritance and reveal a fraction of the power contained within this natural algorithm for diversity and efficiency.

Buckle up! This is the secret sauce of the universe!
