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

Reviews (6)
It's a decent introduction. Could use a few more real-world examples to solidify the concepts, though.
Learned a lot, but tbh some of the later modules could have used more depth. Still, a valuable experience.
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.
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.
