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 covers the basics well. I think more varied examples could have enhanced the learning experience further. Still, a worthwhile effort.
Overall a good learning experience. The structure made sense, and the examples were relevant, though I felt some topics could have been explored more thoroughly.
Not sure this was the best way to learn this. The examples felt a bit dated, and the overall structure was confusing. I needed external resources to make sense of it.
Good foundation built here. Some of the explanations could have been clearer, and the pace was a bit inconsistent, but overall a valuable learning experience.
Hmm, I'm not sure this is for beginners. Some parts skipped over foundational concepts too quickly for my liking.
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.
Really enjoyed this course. The structure made it easy to follow, and the content was super engaging.
Couldn't have asked for a better learning experience. The structure flowed perfectly, and the examples were incredibly relevant. Highly recommend!
Found this course to be quite beneficial. The way topics were introduced was effective. Just a minor point, some examples felt a bit dated.
Decent course. Covered a lot of ground. I appreciated the clarity in most of the lessons, although a couple could have used more depth.
