Time estimates for modules

It would be useful if we could provide an estimate for the expected time to complete a given section. This could help encourage users to try out sections that are "bite-sized".

Explain How to Run OPT Notebooks

Explain how to run OPT notebooks in How to Start and Run a Jupyter Notebook section. Mysteriously forgot to explain how to actually run OPT notebooks. Just a small bit of verbage needs to be added.

Testing

Should add tests for both the notebooks and pages.

For gh-pages:

• Run jekyll to build the pages and check for warnings
• Run either an HTML or markdown link checker

For master:

• Install our conda environment
• Run the notebooks using nbconvert
• Maybe add appveyor?

Task: create GitHub account

Brief what is git and github section under Getting Started

We need some brief verbiage on why our users should learn git and github before jumping into the nitty-gritty. I'll volunteer for that.

• Station plots

Reorganize after the Getting Started section

@dopplershift

I would suggest the following re-organization after the "Getting Started" section.

Learning Basic Python

• [Small intro written by us on what should be learned, e.g., flow control, data structures, etc.]
• [Curated links, resources, books to learn basic Python]

Scientific Python

Intro

• [Small intro written by us on what should be learned in the scientific Python arena and why, e.g., numpy, etc.]

Books on Scientific Python

• Decaria (also below in PyAOS section)
• Python for Data Analysis (maybe?)
• Others

NumPy

• [Curated links]

Matplotlib

• [Curated links]

Python for Meteorology

Intro

• [Small intro written by us on what should be learned in the PyAOS arena and why, e.g., netcdf4-Python, etc.]

Books on PyAOS

• Johnny Lin's book
• Decaria

netCDF4-python

• [Curated links]

CartoPy

• [Curated links]

Siphon

• [Curated links]

Metpy

• [Curated links]

PyAOS Notebooks

• [A well-maintained list of PyAOS notebooks according Mapes' suggestion and others]

Git?

Should we have a section on git? It's not Python, but it's really useful these days. If so, here's a link to GitHub's online tutorial, which looks promising: https://try.github.io/levels/1/challenges/1

Can't launch anaconda launcher

Hello fellow programming enthusiasts.

I downloaded anaconda quite a while ago, and had no issue in launching it, then I kinda forgot about it.

Now when I decided to open anaconda launcher it won't open. Icon will appear and then it closes by itself.
I tried opening through terminal and got this error:

User's name-MacBook-Air:~ user$ anaconda-navigator
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "//anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/binstar_client/utils/config.py", line 250, in save_config

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
