Decent introduction. The structure was logical, but I wish there had been more hands-on practice beyond the basic examples.

Hmm, I'm not sure this is for absolute beginners. It assumes a bit of prior knowledge that wasn't explicitly taught. Some examples were confusing.

The course covered the basics well. Some sections were more engaging than others. It's a reasonable starting point, I suppose.

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