The book is more about the technical details whereas the notes give a very good overview with many examples, culminating in a proof of the Weil conjectures. Generally speaking, I strongly recommend Milne's course notes on any topic. Not that I have read all of them, but it happened more than once to me (which implies I'm a bad learner) that I looked into some standard textbook in order to learn some topic and only realized later that Milne's notes were way better. | |
