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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
wget - grabbing web pages from command line

Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 11 September 2003
A quick note on the wget utility ... great way to grab a copy of a web page from the command line and save it to your local disc. Also has recursive and mirror options.  Great for mirroring .html .gif and .jpg files - beware of scripts and .php and .jsp files, as you'll get the parsed version rather than the originals ...
           wget  -m  -w2    http://www.sheepbingo.co.uk/index.html

That example will mirror the named site, starting at index.html.  The -w2 is important because it puts a 2 second delay between each page rather than burning up all the bandwidth on what might be a large transfer!

Wget is included with Linux distributions ... otherwise find it at
ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/ or alternatives listed at http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/wget.html if you would like a windows binary!
