This was a brilliant way to learn! The structure was logical, the pace was spot on, and the examples were super helpful. Highly recommend!

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.
