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.
What a great learning experience! The flow of information was excellent, and the practical exercises were key. Very happy with this.
This was a good introduction. The structure is logical, and it covers the basics effectively. Might be too introductory for advanced learners.
Solid course. It covered the essentials well, and the structure was logical. Could have used a few more practical application examples, but overall a good learning tool.
Fantastic course. The examples used were spot on and really helped solidify the concepts. My understanding has improved dramatically.
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.
Couldn't have asked for a better learning experience. The structure flowed perfectly, and the examples were incredibly relevant. Highly recommend!
Found it useful for a refresher. Not sure it would be the best starting point for a complete beginner, tbh.
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.
