Solid course. The structure made sense, and it covered the essentials. Wish there were a few more complex examples, but it's a good start.

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.

It was a decent course overall. Some parts moved a bit fast for me, but the core concepts were explained well. Good for a foundational understanding.

This was a good introduction. The structure is logical, and it covers the basics effectively. Might be too introductory for advanced learners.
