Looking ahead to the Autumn season of training and accommodation
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.
Onsite courses (we'll come to you for groups of 5 or more delegates, worldwide), Rooms for business meetings, and leisure hotel guests are also important parts of our ongoing business ... and we look forward to being busy all though to Christmas!

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?
