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

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.

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

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.
