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

I guess it's okay if you already know the basics. For someone completely new, the structure might be confusing.

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.
