Good foundational course. Explained things clearly, but could have used more hands-on practice to solidify the learning.

It was a decent course overall. Some parts were explained really well, but others felt a bit rushed. Good for a general overview.

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.
