The content is good, but the pace might be a bit fast for absolute beginners. I found myself rewinding quite a bit. Still valuable info.

Learned a good amount here. The examples were relevant, though I wished there were a few more practical application tasks. Still, a worthwhile experience.

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