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

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 a bit dry, tbh. The examples weren't always the most relevant, making it hard to stay engaged through some of the modules.
