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.

This was a good introduction. The structure is logical, and it covers the basics effectively. Might be too introductory for advanced learners.

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.
