Welcome to the forums!
It sounds like you have a great background to get started with this. There are several of us going through the course now, so definitely post if you have questions or run into roadblocks in the labs.
Good luck!
Thanks,
I am working on my registration as I write this. Looks like I will tentatively be starting April 7 - Looking forward to interacting with you guys.
Cheers
