Pretty good introduction. The examples were helpful, but I wish there was a bit more practice material. Solid value for the cost.

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.

It's a decent course. The structure is logical, but I occasionally found myself wishing for more in-depth explanations on certain topics. Still, useful.

Solid course. It provided a good foundation. I'd prefer if some of the later modules had more challenging tasks, though.

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