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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
UK legal requirements for your commercial web site

Running a commercial web site from a UK base? You need to be aware of changes to the UK's e-commerce regulations that were introduced at the end of last December without much publicity.

Your web site now needs to provide:

* Name of provider
* Email address at which you can be contacted
* Registered office and geographic information
* Regsitration number and place of registration
* VAT number if you're VAT registered
* Prices with clear VAT and delivery costs information

Other regulations apply to Email, SMS, Caching, online contracts, liabiities, etc. I'm no expert on these matters - so have a look at out-law.com

A quick check confirms that, yes, we have all that information here, and more too. Really, the new law is bringing things into line with best, reputable practise.

There's a raft of other regulations too - the disability discrimination act, copyright, libel, racial and religious discrimination, decency, distance selling regulations and so on ... all need to be taken into account too. More resources under the commecial aspects of running a website which you and all your developers and content providers ought to be aware of.

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
