Pretty good foundation. The examples were mostly helpful. Might need additional practice elsewhere for mastery.

The content is good, but the pace might be a bit fast for absolute beginners. I found myself rewinding quite a bit. Still valuable info.

It was a pretty good course overall. Some parts moved a little fast for me, but the examples were generally helpful. Worth the time investment.

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.
