Great introduction into the remaining courses. I love that there are different learning methods, ie, audio and reading and that there are quizzes at the end of each to help you digest the information.

Differing methods of teaching, "pop" quizzes during videos brings a persons attention directly to the content of the teaching, and shorter broken up segments is imperative for new learners.

A very interesting, albeit basic, foundational course. Most useful for people who don't have a technical background, slightly redundant for tech people. Overall, a very well crafted course.
