[META] tutorial notebooks vol. 1

We need a set of decent tutorial notebooks before this repository turns public. One thing that many closed-source computing platforms get right is the documentation, tutorials, and examples are almost always enough to jump in and hit the ground running. Max/MSP, in particular, does a great job of of keeping almost all the documentation in the form of patches, which is the main Max/MSP paradigm.

Her are a list of useful tutorials (add more as we talk about it):

• how to perform basic DOM manipulations. This should drive home that we are ON the DOM. Should start with a bit of motivation, and then end in a small d3 example, and / or a webgl example. (#200)

@bcolloran I would like to work on this issue. I will try to make a tutorial which describes the DOM Tree and how it can be manipulated using Iodide.

Also as a followup, I would like to implement the Data Science 101 problem of 'Titanic data analysis' (https://www.kaggle.com/c/titanic/kernels). The Titanic example has been extensively used in various libraries as an example due to ubiquitous nature. We can make a notebook in Iodide for writing a basic ML classifier with proper interactive visualization, embedding formulas using LateX etc.

Those are great ideas. The approach of using Kaggle data science examples is really great, because it's very accessible and can show people how to reproduce example work from kaggle. I'm going to add the concept of Kaggle exploration as a top-level meta issue.

Please feel free to add issues if you think there are any other tutorials or bits of documentation that you think are missing.
