DH tools and techniques

In DH tools and techniques I want to introduce methods useful to the DH. I want to explain some tools with enough (but still minimalistic) introductory information which will get you going without too much clutter. Also, I feel that a ‘market’ of DH tutorials starts to become available, however, what I think they are missing, for the most part, are the possible applications. Why should I learn a new method or tool when I can’t (yet) see what benefit it could have for my own research? Why learn a tool I don’t know what to use for? This has happened to me way to many times which is why I hope to make it better ;)

In these techniques, I want to cover simple things, like XML and Annotation (which has its own category) but also some methods belonging to what has caused somewhat of a stir on Twitter under the (somewhat problematic) name of ‘Computational Humanities’.
