Review needed for https://github.com/softwareunderground/52things/pull/38

mycarta commented 4 years ago

I took on reviewing this as it is explicitly intended for neophytes, and I am a total neophyte. I found your chapter clear, well organized, easy to follow, useful. I think it is ready to go (there are a couple of typos here and there but I think instructions mention that stuff will be looked at after by @kwinkunks. The only thing I wonder a bit is the title itself. I am not 100% sure: are the three easy steps the three tutorials you list at the end? IS there any way to make it more clear from the beginning?

@mycarta thanks for reviewing. Well, whether these are not kinda 3 steps that have to go the one after the other. I believe getting rid of the three easy steps in title could be better than trying to express HPC in a pipeline of 3 steps.

My personal belief is that this way the reader can be gently introduced in a wide spectrum of the most common HPC techniques used in industry/academia. SO maybe we could change the title to "A 5-minute read to be introduced in HPC" or something similar?

I am open to any suggestions. Thanks, GB

I'd agree a tweak to the title sounds better. How about "A 5-minute introduction to HCP"?

Happy to read it, I learned a few things.

Sounds good!

@georgebisbas Hi George, are you happy if I go ahead and change the title?
