Good foundational course. Explained things clearly, but could have used more hands-on practice to solidify the learning.
Fantastic structure, easy to follow along. The practical exercises were spot on and helped solidify the concepts.
Good foundational material. I appreciated the structured approach, although I wish there had been a few more real-world case studies.
