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

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.

Good introduction. I appreciated the clear steps, although some of the later modules could have used more examples.
