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.

Honestly, pretty disappointing. The concepts weren't explained well at all, and the examples were confusing. Wouldn't do this again.

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

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.
