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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
A Golf Club Decision - Perl to Java



There are times that Java is the right language for an application and Perl is the wrong one - to the extent that investment in a rewrite is correct. But they are pretty rare.

I was very disappointed to learn this week of a major company that is switching - not for technical reasons, but because of what one of my delegates described as a "golf club decision". Which was defined to me as a decision taken on commercial rather than technical grounds so that the big boss of company "A" - our new Java user - can play rounds of golf with the big boss of company "B" who are behind Java.



We'll teach you either!

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.
