This provided a good overview. I found the practical applications mentioned to be particularly helpful. Could have used a bit more detail in places.

Helpful material. The structure was logical for the most part. Might not be for absolute beginners though.

Helpful for solidifying existing knowledge. Might be a bit fast if you're completely new to the topic, but the examples are clear.

Pretty informative. The course covered the basics well, but some advanced topics felt a little glossed over. Good for getting started.
