Getting started in HPC in 3 easy steps

[georgebisbas]

Review needed for #38

[mycarta]

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!

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

@georgebisbas after this #115 I will give it another quick read and then give it the green light. Thanks for your efforts
