Good information presented here. The examples were helpful, but occasionally I wished for a bit more depth. Decent value for the price.

Hmm, I'm not sure this is for beginners. Some parts skipped over foundational concepts too quickly for my liking.

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