Yup. Most of it is in the notebook. Here is the repo:

Thanks! That would be appreciated! I am glad this will (hopefully) save
time and effort on your part to get others ramped up.

I agree with you in principle, but I think the question is "central to
whom?" The bootcamps are useful for their own purposes and audiences, while
the scipy tutorial s are useful for their own things, etc. At this point, I
think the bootcamps and SciPy and other conferences really should be the
best venues for pushing out the "classroom-oriented" type of tutorials.
