Any language has a whole number of different types of element that come together to make a whole.
Let's take a spoken language such as English. You need nouns - they're 'thing' words like "platypus" and "road", "carrot" and "Walter". Then you need verbs to join them together - they're 'doing' wo ....
We specialise in training people in how to program in open source scripting langauges, such as Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, Lua and Tcl ... and in C and C++ too, which are open source too in their Gnu / Gcc flavour.
Wherever we were based, we need people to travel from far and wide for our courses - ma ....
You may think (and say) that you're writing a program ... but you never write a complete program these days. What you do is to provide the filling to the sandwich - the bit that changes from one application / requirement to the next, and you then make use of standard surrounding material - the brea ....
This week we are running C and C++ training courses. It was such a lovely day that we walked to the "West End" for lunch - that's Melksham's West End pub, and not the West End of London. The pub, a member of the "Hungry Horse" chain (Greene King, Bury St Edmunds) has recently been refurbished. ....
Yesterday, I took a walk around Melksham, and I took a whole lot of pictures. Most show features that may not have been photographed very often - for the record, if you like, and for giving thought to where the town may be in a number of years time. This "headline" picture shows equipment in the sk ....
It's often a surprise to me which posts generate informed and useful additional feedback, comment, information, and so forth. My recent post about a public footpath, and what is allowed on there, was one that rather took off on Facebook. [link - original article]

The village of Whaddon lines about 3 miles on foot from Melksham... or more than twice that by road. It's at the end of a dead end lane from Hilperton in Trowbridge... and comprises a mixture of old farms, and well tended dwellings with (it sometimes seems) a dog barking at each gate. There's a rich ....
Here's a co-incidence for you. Lisa and I picknicked at Beanacre yesterday, choosing the outdoors in the sunshine rather than sitting inside somewhere. The spring flowers are coming out, the grass is growing, and the fresh air clears the lungs wonderfully!
Where's the co-incidence?
I've just upl ....
Beside our house runs a public footpath ... and we have a gate to the side through which we can walk onto it. Goodness knows how old the gate is - many years for sure; I suspect it dates back to the 1920s or 1930s. We use the path from time to time, via the gate - it's a convenient way for Gypsy an ....
Today was pet's day at Gypsy's favourite store in Melksham ... so we went along, had a look, met some known friends and made some new ones, and came away with the most biggest supply of dog food (and some for the cat too) which should last us for a few days. I understand that Countrywide's n ....
