This was a good introduction. The structure is logical, and it covers the basics effectively. Might be too introductory for advanced learners.

Hmm, I'm not sure this was the best way to learn this. Some concepts were a bit glossed over, and the examples weren't always clear.

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.

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.

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