The examples weren't always directly applicable to what was being taught. A bit confusing tbh.

It provides a good starting point. My main issue was with the clarity of a couple of the later modules.

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

Decent introduction. The structure was logical, but I wish there had been more hands-on practice beyond the basic examples.

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.
