I'd like to start with formalizing my knowledge of the basics -- hypothesis testing and confidence intervals. I do some performance tuning work, and it seems like a good idea to understand if my changes are making statistically significant improvements.

Those are what're thought of as standard "frequentist" basics; practical tools originally invented for practitioners. Many basic texts aiming to be statistics for scientists will do well, though unfortunately I don't have particular suggestions. Sorry about that!
