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.

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

Hmm, it wasn't quite what I expected. Some of the examples felt a bit outdated, and the pace wasn't ideal for beginners.

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.
