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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
Python, Perl, MySQL, Linux; meeting the supergeeks

Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 30 July 2004
In the interest of keeping my mind sharp (and keeping one step ahead of our trainees), I go off from time to time to listen to and learn from the "supergeeks" in the upper echelons of the subjects I teach.  Earlier this year, I took a week our of the UK to listen to Mark Lutz - the Python authority who wrote many of the O'Reilly books on the subject, and in a couple of months time I've another trip schedules on which I'll be listening to Larry Wall (Perl), Rasmus Lerdorf (PHP), Monty Widenius (MySQL) and a host of others.  I admire these folks anyway for the products they have created, and it usually turns out that they're really lovely people too.   I'll keep you posted.
