is the course meant to be a summarization and distillation of the tutorials or substantially different? either way i’m really excited about it.

hey @TheIneffableALIAS the course is complementary to the [official tutorials](https://huggingface.co/transformers/notebooks.html) as it assumes less prior knowledge and provides “bite-sized” chunks of information through videos and simple examples.

if you’re brand new to transformers (or NLP in general), my suggestion would be to start with the course and then dive into the official tutorials to see more advanced usage 🙂
