Excellent for beginners like me. Although, I do wish that there were more examples and explanations per topic, more exercises per topic, and more projects per topic to really drive home the material.

Professor Snape... I mean Severance breaks this stuff down better than anyone I've come across. I look forward to taking more of his courses.

Great for beginners. Could be faster and more focused on the coding. I would remove the starbucks videos and mark the interviews as optional.

The best course if you have no prior coding experience. Professor walks down to the straight basics of how the code is read. Excellent course

The lectures were very informative, but there was also enough room for someone completely new to this, like myself, to do their own research.
