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

Pretty good introduction. The examples were helpful, but I wish there was a bit more practice material. Solid value for the cost.

It provides a good starting point. My main issue was with the clarity of a couple of the later modules.

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.
