It was a decent course overall. Some parts moved a bit fast for me, but the core concepts were explained well. Good for a foundational understanding.

Solid course. It covered the essentials well, and the structure was logical. Could have used a few more practical application examples, but overall a good learning tool.

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.

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