Thanks for some great suggestions. To answer some questions: OS is probably Windows, most (all?) of the people are already using version control. Happily we don't need to mention Python 2 :-)
Tasks: eventually, some may be involved with automation (deployment, test); others more analytical scripting to get statistics from text files etc. However, initially I would hope to find a course which provides targeted exercises. I myself took a course on Coursera <https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning> recently and couldn't recommend it more highly. The things which made the difference were: - superb material - challenging exercises with an online assessment system - details on "development environment" (not a problem for me, but the course did include student Matlab edition) It helped that it was free, so although my employer were happy for me to set aside time, I didn't have to ask for funding. Other courses on the same site have been disappointing.
