Hmm, I'm not sure this is for beginners. Some parts skipped over foundational concepts too quickly for my liking.

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

This covers the basics well. I wish there were more opportunities to practice independently between modules.
