For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Question for Graham

Posted by PaulStat (PaulStat), 16 May 2006
Hi Graham,

I was on one of your Python courses a little while ago, which I found to be of a really high standard btw.

I've been out of university for nearly two years now, and my job is based around using a C type language for document composition (not a very commercialised programming language at all).

I feel however that it is time I tried to move on with my career. I am really interested in the consultancy/training side of programming that you speciailise in.

I realise however that I need to improve my skill sets and experience before I can start contemplating such a role.

Do you have any recommendations or tips on where I should perhaps take my career next to enable me to do this.

Also i'm more than willing to learn in my spare time, so which languages/technologies would you recommend focusing on?

Thanks for your help.

Paul

Paul .... sorry I've taken a little while to get back with you on this ... been very busy over the past few days travelling to the Middle East and getting a course set up (now running) here.   I'll cut and paste your original and come back with something overnight.

Paul,

I've written a (very) full answer ... rather beyond the size of a forum post and of more general interst too, so I've put it into my blog.

Link to full answer

Please do feel free to follow up here, or via the main blog.

Graham
