I'm learning a LOT, and you don't have to take it quite as slowly as they suggest. But, it's nice that there's a manageable pace set out for you. Instructor and guests were great--relatable and clear.

Amazing course. Just enough detail for an entry level.

It could use a little bit more interactive tasks but top notch work.

Thanks to Coursera and Google.
