This was a good introduction. The structure is logical, and it covers the basics effectively. Might be too introductory for advanced learners.

Met my needs for a basic understanding. The structure was logical, but I found myself wishing for more in-depth examples.

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.
