Hands-on for 'ToolFactory: Generating Tools From Simple Scripts' tutorial

The questions this addresses are:
- What options exist for new-to-Galaxy developers to convert functioning command line scripts into Galaxy tools?
- Can any command line script I've written be wrapped as a Galaxy tool?
- Can I make a tool from a script developed in a Galaxy Interactive Environment notebook?
- How can I get the ToolFactory working locally, since you tell me it should never be exposed on a public server?
- What is the difference between a hand-crafted tool and a ToolFactory generated one?

The objectives are:
- Learn why you might want to use the ToolFactory Appliance
- Watch a video demonstration and explore the generated code - Hello Galaxy Training Network!
- Run it locally in Docker.
- Install and explore the simple examples provided.
- Modify and re-generate them to see how the changes affect the tool
- Generate new simple Galaxy tools using your own scripts
