Hmm, it was okay. Some of the explanations were a bit vague, and I had to rewatch sections a few times. Not sure if it's for absolute beginners.

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.
