It's a good course if you have some prior knowledge. For absolute beginners, some concepts might be a bit challenging. The structure is logical, though.

It's a solid course. The structure is logical and most of the examples were helpful. Could use a few more real-world scenarios though.

Good foundation built here. Some of the explanations could have been clearer, and the pace was a bit inconsistent, but overall a valuable learning experience.

Found it useful for a refresher. Not sure it would be the best starting point for a complete beginner, tbh.
