It's a solid course. The structure is logical and most of the examples were helpful. Could use a few more real-world scenarios though.

Found it useful for a refresher. Not sure it would be the best starting point for a complete beginner, tbh.

Good foundation built here. Some of the explanations could have been clearer, and the pace was a bit inconsistent, but overall a valuable learning experience.
