    As a person coming from another programming language (5 years of working experience), i found it extremely hard to follow the course and explanations by tutor. Concepts are skipped and it doesnt really cover some basics from where you can build up on logically next things. It simply skips some concepts and I found myself rewatching simple concepts for multiple times and still didnt get most of it. Maybe the problem is in me, but if it is so i can imagine how much confusing it will be for beginners.

    The program was nicely designed and delivered. The explanation for the topics like classes, modules, multithreading should have more explanation. Over all it was a great program, I learnt a lot from this Thank you

    Not beginner-friendly, concepts are only loosely explained for a challenge, or not at all. Instructor is trying too hard to be funny but falls really flat.
