It covers the basics well. I think more varied examples could have enhanced the learning experience further. Still, a worthwhile effort.

Pretty informative. The course covered the basics well, but some advanced topics felt a little glossed over. Good for getting started.

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.

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

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