Solid course. It provided a good foundation. I'd prefer if some of the later modules had more challenging tasks, though.

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.

Pretty good introduction. The examples were helpful, but I wish there was a bit more practice material. Solid value for the cost.
