It seemed very in-depth which is nice for someone like me who has no prior knowledge of this subject matter, however it seemed like a big jump in complexity from the previous course.

Very clear, well explained videos. I tend to lose interest with video learning but I was kept engaged. Very enjoyable course helping you absorb lots of information quickly like a sponge.
