Students new to CIAO may want to go through the exercises in the Chandra/CIAO Workbook, 2019 AAS233 edition.
We also have the exercises in the form a Jupyter notebook. You can download or view the blank notebook (without the answers); or you can download or view the completed notebook with the answers supplied.
bash_kernel Jupyter notebooks from the ds9|dax demo can be viewed online.
The workshop is mainly aimed at students and postdocs new to Chandra data.
