Develop "nanoHUB-simple-jupyter" Course

[dadamsncsa]

Description

• Simplest Jupyter Note book tool.
• Use toolstart-jypyter as template ( or maybe allow user to create manually??).
• No additional files other than single ipynb
• Review best practice for committing (delete all output before each commit)
• Use traditional notebook approach (no ipywidgets dashboard)

Goals

• Use basic python and GitHub knowledge to develop a simple Jupyter-based nanoHUB tool.
• Learn how to use the nanoHUB Jupyter Notebook Tool
• Understand the nanoHUB workspace
• Learn how to work with Jupyter notebooks in GitHub
• Learn about the nanoHUB environment

• Outline

• Intro
  • Provide context and links to nanoHUB (especially "whypublish"
  • Mention origins of course from nanoMFG, but that it is broadly usable.
• Step 1: clone repo on nanohub (could be done locally, but save that for intermediate?)
• Step 2: Launch jupyter notebook tool, add some simple code, test.
  • Save and checkpoint, for now.
  • Access the workspace command line
  • Commit changes and push
• Step 3: Congrats, you have a established a simple workflow for a pure python based tool
• Step 4: Understanding sessions on nanoHUB
  • Run an existing tool...
• Step 5: Edit code to create output and plot it
  • Make a plot with downloadable results
  • Commit and push
• Step 6 Understand nanoHUB python environment
• Step 7: Create a Tool page (link to documentation)
• Step 8: Understand the invoke and start_jupyter commands
