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.

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

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