It was decent. The structure was mostly logical, but a few sections felt a bit rushed. Good foundational knowledge gained, though.

It's a solid course. The structure is logical and most of the examples were helpful. Could use a few more real-world scenarios though.

Found it a bit dry tbh. The examples felt a little dated and didn't quite connect with current practices. Expected more engagement.
