It's a decent introduction. Could benefit from more diverse examples and a slightly better flow between modules.

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.

Honestly, pretty disappointing. The concepts weren't explained well at all, and the examples were confusing. Wouldn't do this again.
