Giorgio Gilestro ec56e51bf9 Add beginner tutorial notebooks for incoming students
Four guided notebooks under notebooks/getting_started/ aimed at someone
new to Python and data science. The series progresses: project orientation
→ Python/pandas crash course → exploring one tracking DB → first
trained-vs-naive comparison using load_roi_data + Mann-Whitney U.

Each notebook leans heavily on markdown explanations, includes exercises
with empty cells, and links out to canonical references (JupyterLab,
official Python tutorial, pandas 10-min guide, Wikipedia for stats
concepts).

# Tutorial notebooks
Read these in order:
1. **`00_welcome.ipynb`** — what's the project, where the data lives,
how to use a Jupyter notebook.
2. **`01_python_pandas_basics.ipynb`** — minimum Python and pandas you
need to read project code.
3. **`02_explore_one_database.ipynb`** — open one tracking DB, plot a
trajectory, compute a single distance.
4. **`03_compare_trained_vs_naive.ipynb`** — first real analysis,
comparing groups.
After these, the notebooks one level up (`flies_analysis*.ipynb`) walk
through the full analysis pipeline that the previous student built.
