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.

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

Helpful material. The structure was logical for the most part. Might not be for absolute beginners though.

This was a decent introduction. It covered the basics well, but I was hoping for a bit more depth in certain areas. Still valuable for beginners.

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