Good introduction. It covers the basics effectively, but don't expect to become an expert overnight. More examples would have been nice.

Good introduction. I appreciated the clear steps, although some of the later modules could have used more examples.

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.

Decent introduction. The structure was logical, but I wish there had been more hands-on practice beyond the basic examples.
