It was a pretty good course overall. Some parts moved a bit fast, but the examples were generally helpful. Worth the investment.

Okay, this course covers the basics well. Some of the later concepts could have been explained more thoroughly. Good starting point.

Hmm, I'm not sure this is for absolute beginners. It assumes a bit of prior knowledge that wasn't explicitly taught. Some examples were confusing.

Helpful material. The structure was logical for the most part. Might not be for absolute beginners though.
