Dear Damian,

I found this article useful for a comparison of 
bioperl/biopython/biojava in the past :

If you want to produce a step-by-step tutorial, then you can have one 
example here (using jupyter as already mentioned):

If you want to publish it in a per-review journal, you could think of a 
teaching class since this starts to be published:

Best,

Stéphane
