Welcome to Well House Consultants' website. We offer training courses in a variety of Open Source subjects, including Apache Tomcat, which is the technology that we're covering on this page. Please follow one of the links at the top of the page if you're looking for another of our technologies.

Courses run at our own training centre in Melksham, Wiltshire, England. Because many of our subjects are niche, we also provide overnight accommodation in our own hotel rooms within our training centre, and you may book the course and accommodation as a single package.

We run public courses, each of which is scheduled to run from 3 to 9 times per year, and on which we accept bookings from different organisations and individuals who wish to learn about Apache Tomcat following our published agenda. Public courses are all written by ourselves, lead by our own tutor, and limited to just eight delegates per course so that the tutor has plenty of time to answer any questions that arise, and provide personal support during practical sessions.

We also run private courses for individual companies / organisations. Private courses are scheduled to suit our client's needs, and can run at our training centre or at customer premises almost anywhere in the world. Because our course materials are written by ourselves and modular, we can tailor private courses to suit our client's needs.

Apache httpd serves the majority of domains registered in the world - it's ubiquitous. A fabulous range of facilities and modules provide a huge tailoring scope and occasionally a configuration nightmare.

Apache Tomcat is also a web server. Although you find it fronting only a tiny proportion of registered domains, it's often present in the background, hidden behind Apache httpd running on the same server. If you hear "Web" and "Java" , you'll likely find a Tomcat around!

Why two web servers, both from Apache? Httpd is a great web server for handling single pages, and for traditional sites which hava a large number of different pages to be served. By contrast, Tomcat is an application container in which a handful of applications are run and each subsequent requests back to the server results in the same application taking the process a stage further on.

We offer:

• A deploying Apache httpd and Tomcat course which will be the one for you if you are using BOTH servers. (Occasionally, delegates use Tomcat without any requirement for httpd - please check with us if you are in this situation)

• A 2 day public Linux Web Server course that covers the installation and maintainace of Apache httpd on Linux systems, and further Linux courses (below) if you wish to learn about the operating system too.

• Linux Basics - a one-day introduction for newcomers to Linux, suffient for users who will be looking after a simple website on a server they do not administer.

• Linux Administration - a one-day introduction which follow on from the Linux Basics day.

If you've a group of three or more delegates who wish to learn about these web servers at the same time, a Specially Run Courses course can be arranged, and for larger groups we can also run a Private Courses course at your offices. Such courses are tailored to meet your requirements - please contact us to discuss the detail of what you need.
