The following chapters will guide you in writing software that will detects planets around Trappist-1.

Two things will go hand in hand. Explaining what to do followed by you implementing that in your favorite programming language.

We will chose to adhere to the following format. In almost every chapter we will output a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file. That file will serve as input for the next chapter.

Although this could be optimized in a single pipeline, foregoing the need to write and read CSV, with this format we have to ability to reflect. This will aid us in understanding our task at hand.

The following outline is typical for almost all the activities we are going to do in this workshop.

1. Read data
2. Process data
3. Write data

Processing could be any of, but not limited to, transforming, filtering, analyzing or fitting. Now processing will be generating image data.

This could be your first encounter with some of the libraries we use. When we start using a library for the first time, we are going to be very specific. Once you get to know the library we leave you to fill in the blanks.

This workshop can be done in a variety of tools. We provide examples in different languages, but feel free to use your own tools. If you want to use a spreadsheet go for it. In principle you could use pen and paper, so think outside of the box.

Almost every chapter encourages you to play with what you have created. We hope too give you some food for thought that might spark your interested. But feel free to come up with your own questions and observations and don't forget to share them.
