+# Scrimba interactive guides
+
+[Scrimba](https://scrimba.com) is a code-learning platform that allows you to interactively edit and run
+code while watching a video walkthrough.
+
+We've partnered with Scrimba on course materials (called "scrims") that teach the fundamentals of building with LangChain.js - 
+check them out below, and check back for more as they become available!

+**LangChain** is a framework for developing applications powered by language models. It enables applications that:
+- **Are context-aware**: connect a language model to other sources of context (prompt instructions, few shot examples, content to ground it's response in)
+- **Reason**: rely on a language model to reason (about how to answer based on provided context, what actions to take, etc)
 
 The main value props of LangChain are:
 1. **Components**: abstractions for working with language models, along with a collection of implementations for each abstraction. Components are modular and easy-to-use, whether you are using the rest of the LangChain framework or not
