Hi Martin,

For a geosciences audience, you may find the Software Carpentry capstone
lesson on "Data Management in the Ocean, Weather and Climate Sciences"
useful. There's a link to the materials on the lesson page of the Software
Carpentry website: http://software-carpentry.org/lessons.html

In terms of timing, I just ran a workshop for weather, ocean and climate
scientists at the University of Queensland and in two days we got through
the Software Carpentry lessons on Programming with Python; Version Control
with Git; Data Management in the Ocean, Weather and Climate Sciences; and
Automation and Make. I'd probably describe the audience as intermediate
(experience with using the shell was assumed - we set the unix shell
lessons as pre-reading for the small number of people who didn't have
experience with the shell).


Cheers,
Damien
