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.

It's a solid course. The structure is logical and most of the examples were helpful. Could use a few more real-world scenarios though.

It's a good course if you have some prior knowledge. For absolute beginners, some concepts might be a bit challenging. The structure is logical, though.

A good introduction. The structure was mostly clear, but I wish there were a few more real-world examples. Still, learned a lot.
