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.

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

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