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

Hmm, I'm not sure this is ideal for beginners. Some concepts were glossed over, and the examples weren't always clear.

It provides a good starting point. My main issue was with the clarity of a couple of the later 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.
