Pretty informative. I liked the practical application examples, though the initial setup took longer than I expected.

It was a decent course overall. Some parts moved a bit fast for me, but the core concepts were explained well. Good for a foundational understanding.

This course provided a solid foundation. The examples were useful, but the pace felt a bit uneven at times. Still, a good learning resource.
