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

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

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

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.
