Show all for Programming in Lua 
This Autumn, we're running our regular public training courses at Well House Manor - courses in Perl, PHP, Python, Lua, Ruby, C, C++, Tcl, MySQL, Tomcat and Linux [schedule - link]. We still have a maximum group size of eight delegates, we still use our own notes - it's a tried and tested formula through which we train hundreds of delegates each year, so there are no major changed - just minor developments such as our "learning to program in ..." courses which provide extra supportive help for complete newcomers to programming. Prices remain very competitive too, whether you live near Melksham and can commute, or if you stay with us at Well House Manor.
Our Business Hotel - Well House Manor - continues to attract business visitors to Melksham, and we're getting to know quite a number of 'regulars'. For visitors to businesses at Challymead, Hampton Park, or Bowerhill, we offer easy-access nearby accommodation, close to the town centre and will full business facilities. A lighter breakfast ensures you're fresh for the day, and being a business hotel you can come and go as you please - from really early to really late.
