Add filename output to clarify first loop example

1

Added "echo $filename" within initial loop example to make it easier to visualize in the output exactly where each line of output is coming from. While this adds a little...

The ingredients lists sound like actual mild and hot salsa already. By making more intuitive and informative names, we can model variable naming best practices and make it easier to...

Add explicit parameters for numpy.delete

1

The alternative solution of using numpy.delete() to remove a column from an array is helpful, but the meaning of the arguments is not obvious without explicitly including the names. Even...

This section of the lesson is inconsistent. It uses data[30,20] as a midpoint but states that this is the 30th row and 20th column. Either the indices should be changed...

The screenshots of the RStudio environment in [Episode 1](https://swcarpentry.github.io/r-novice-gapminder/01-rstudio-intro/index.html) show R version 3.5 but we want to encourage people to have version 4 installed.

Removes the example of a function in pandas that is given here before functions are taught (episode 16). At current, it would be confusing at best unless people happen to...

Improve dataframe naming conventions

2

Proposed updated episode using dataframe naming convention throughout (data_[region]_[indexColumn]) and added bullets pointing out the advantages. The changes would need to be consistent throughout all episodes before being merged to...

Standardize formatting in Suggested Lesson Tables

Clean up minor inconsistencies in [suggested lessons](https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/demo_lessons/index.html) including: * consistent phrasing, capitalization, and punctuation for explanations (e.g. "none" vs. "No episodes"; "Avoid all episodes.", etc) * consistent language use in...

When the `cats` dataframe is initially defined (https://swcarpentry.github.io/r-novice-gapminder/04-data-structures-part1/index.html), new versions of RStudio will now higlight `"black"` in black by default (color highlighting - see screenshot). While not a high priority,...
