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.

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.

Good overview of the subject. The lessons were easy to follow. Might be a bit too basic for advanced learners, but great for beginners.

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

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.
