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

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.

Not sure this was the best way to learn this. The examples felt a bit dated, and the overall structure was confusing. I needed external resources to make sense of it.

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

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.
