It was a pretty good course overall. Some parts moved a little fast for me, but the examples were generally helpful. Worth the time investment.

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

Good introduction. I appreciated the clear steps, although some of the later modules could have used more examples.
