Hmm, I'm not sure this is for beginners. Some parts skipped over foundational concepts too quickly for my liking.

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

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

Good foundational material. I liked the mix of theory and practice, though a couple of the examples could have been clearer. Overall a positive experience.
