I would say I have intermediate to high experience with R, and have taught it a
few times. Even so, although I feel I could come up with a working solution for

optimal Hadley-approved R-like solution (probably involvi

I'm going to give you my completely biased librarian point of view here,
but I also hold open data helpdesk hours and facilitate a weekly Python

Just another thought, if you can get the computers set up beforehand I
think this could be a great opportunity for pair programming (and I like
the idea of time where interested parties can work on their personal
setup).
Last fall I took a python course organized by Tiziano Zito (

And a command line is not a windows environment. So unless they put hooks into
