Well House Consultants - review of 2004
It's been another busy and successful year for us - course, equipment and book upgrades have continued to keep our offerings right up to date, and we've attended Python, Perl, PHP, Linux and MySQL presentations given by the driving forces of the development in each case so that we know we're headed in our use and on our courses in the same direction that they're heading.
With business and times getting busier, we've simplified a few things; we prefer to be masters of some topics rather than trying to be "jack-of-all-trade". Public Java Programming courses have been dropped, and we're no longer maintaining the notes ourselves - they are available for download from our open training notes site if you want free Java training. We've also sold our London taxi cab which was great fun for station pickups, but harder to keep on the road than we might have wished. We'll still pick you up from the station if you attend a course, but the vehicle will be more comfortable and reliable.
We've already got plans to move gently forward and provide an even better service in 2005 - but I'm holding talk of this back until posts early in the new year. These quieter days between Christmas and the New Year are an excellent opportunity to relax a little, to get involved in our hobbies (oops - that's scripting and web site work!), and prepare for what seems set to be another busy year.
I want to add a personal vote of thanks here to Lisa - who's both my wife and my business partner. I can't find enough and adequate words to express my love and thanks to her in all her support (and also work) in both a personal and Well House Consultants capacity. Just to say that although you may not see her much if you come here on a course (as she prefers to be a backroom person), without her Well House Consultants wouldn't exist as it does today. Thank you, Lisa. (this article written on 2004-12-31) |

A little more about this newsletter ...
At Well House Consultants, we run niche IT training courses ... and we run a hotel for delegates on those courses and other visitors to Melksham too. And we make a lot of friends - have a lot of ambassadors with whom we want to keep in touch. So every day Graham (that's me, writing this piece) puts together an article or two which might include the latest sample programs that I've written during the current course, new information about
Well House Manor - our business hotel, tips on search engine optimisation,
announcements of upcoming public courses, pictures of local places, and even (on occasions) rants and whimsical pieces to keep those friends up to date and in touch. The feeds are available directlt via the Blog -
"The Horse's Mouth", they're on our
Twitter Feed and you can find me at my
LinkedIn profile.
But most people just want to look us up occasionally - every month or two, and then to catch up on the latest news just for their particular subjects of interest ... and that's what this newsletter is about
You'll find above the titles of ALL the new articles written in the last two months, listed by major subject area, and showing as
(new) with their date of publication. You'll find additional articles in each category too - topping each category up to a minimum of five articles. And you'll find a link at the end of each section which lets you expand that section to show the titles of every article that's been published in that section. After all, "the old ones are often the best ones", aren't they?
