Lessons taught at the Starterkit workshops.
It is weird, but the problem is that it couldn't recognise RootInTES and location of stripping DecReport properly.
We would like to teach people from the beginning good practices that can make an analysis reproducible. What would be the minimum set of skills / tricks people would need...
With lots of contributors having strong opinions on their text configuration, we should include a style guide and/or [editor config](http://editorconfig.org/) file that defines how we format the lessons. This is...
In the very end of [the lesson](https://lhcb.github.io/starterkit-lessons/first-analysis-steps/files-from-grid.html), the callout box 'such a clever script' points to the file `MC_2012_27163003_Beam4000GeV2012MagDownNu2.5Pythia8_Sim08e_Digi13_Trig0x409f0045_Reco14a_Stripping20NoPrescalingFlagged_ALLSTREAMS.DST.py` It is a remnant from the times when we used D0->K+pi-...
The [Introduction to LHCb software](https://lhcb.github.io/starterkit-lessons/first-analysis-steps/davinci.html) has several DaVinci versions in use in different places. We should stick to (the most recent) one - v42r6p1.
In the end of the [lesson](https://lhcb.github.io/starterkit-lessons/first-analysis-steps/dataflow.html), we mention the stripping line `D2hhPromptDst2D2KKLine` which is used in following lessons, however the link afterwards points to a wrong line. The proper link...
After teaching it, some of the changes #26 have added some material thats is too complicated and doesn't add much to the discussion (the `IPCHI2`). I think we should roll...
While we teach the data flow in LHCb, it is not explained how do we measure the momentum, perform a vertex fit or define the primary vertex. I had to...
As written, with the copying and pasting of functions and restarting the ipython session, it's very clunky and hard-to-follow in class. It might be good to rework the lesson actually...
As part of the [LoKi functors lesson](https://lhcb.github.io/starterkit-lessons/first-analysis-steps/loki-functors.html), the `CHILD` functor is taught with indices to select the child. As this depends on the ordering of the decay descriptor, it is...
