2008 course schedule - Perl, Python, PHP, Linux, Java Deployment, Ruby and more
It's nearly the August Bank Holiday ... and the time of year when our minds turn to scheduling courses for the next year.
For 2008, I am proud to present:
Every 8 to 12 weeks:
Public courses in PHP, Python, Linux, Perl and Apache/Tomcat.
Three or four times in the year:
Advanced public Perl and PHP courses, MySQL, Ruby, C, C++ and Tcl/Tk.
For delegates who will be deploying Java based applications on a Linux Server, using Apache httpd and Apache Tomcat servers, we are offering our complete Deploying Java applications on Linux and Unix course three times through the year as a public course - covering the Linux/Unix introduction courses, a day on Java and Java tools, and then our popular httpd and Tomcat configuration course. You may arrive on Monday morning knowing little of no Linux and web server configuration ... but you'll leave o Friday evening having set up a complete server with all the components installed, and robustly linked together too.
Technologies move on. Our Perl course already looks ahead at Perl 6 as well as the Perl 5 that most users are sticking with at the moment, but that will drift over in due course. Tomcat, where we started training on Tomcat 4 is now at Tomcat 6, and Java has moved from 1.0 (which we were using in the last Millenium) through a whole series of releases and numbering schemes to Java 6. PHP has steppe d on - 4, to 5, now to PHP 6. All of our courses are updated as appropriate, although in reality Open Source programming languages change less quickly than some other technologies. So the descriptions you see are subject to change to keep them relevant, and indeed there could be more substantive changes by Autumn of 2008.
Prices for courses booked to be taken in 2008 will remain on sale at 2007 prices until the close of business at the end of 2007 - that's 350.00 for the first day and 250.00 for each subsequent day, with a hotel room at Well House Manor adding just 60 pounds per night if you're too far from our training / conference centre to commute daily. Other things remain unchanged too:
* A maximum of 8 delegates per course
* Course written and presented by our own staff
* Custom fitted, excellent facilities
* Bring along your own data and questions for practicals
* 1 delegate minimum. If you book, you know the course will run.
There's a full list of courses in the order they will run here ... or if you want so see a graphical calendar it's here for the rest of this year and here for next year. Look on these diaries for Green dates if you would like me to run a private tailored course for you on any of our subjects or combinations.

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?
