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

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

It's a good course if you have some prior knowledge. For absolute beginners, some concepts might be a bit challenging. The structure is logical, though.

The content is good, but the pace might be a bit fast for absolute beginners. I found myself rewinding quite a bit. Still valuable info.
