Sure! The short version is that in this course, as in all of their other courses, I find they do a near-perfect job of contextualizing information as they teach it.

To expand a bit more, I usually don't enjoy resources that emphasize how "practical" they are, because I almost never "learn" anything from them. They teach procedures, not concepts.

This course, and fast.ai's other courses, are different in that they still approach the subject matter in ways that feel tangible and "real world," but they are doing so in a way that reveals and helps you learn the underlying concepts—it's just done in a top-down manner.

YMMV of course, this has just been my experience.
