This was very educational and relatively easy to follow. An older course but still very relevant.

It's to detail. Nice lectures. But not up to date, so that little confusing while using with the new corona, especially for the beginners like me. Thank You.

Covers a lot of the required functionality to get going, only dropped half a star due to the fact he glosses over some chunks of code without explaining it due to the math involved.
