Okay, this course covers the basics well. Some of the later concepts could have been explained more thoroughly. Good starting point.

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.

★ 5 · July 12, 2026

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