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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

From my email


Subject: Application for any post.
 


Dear Sir/Madam;
 


I am writing in response to the job vacancy announcement of the above mentioned post. The position requirements and my skills are a perfect match.
 


As you'll see on my enclosed resume, I have the educational background, professional experience, and track record for which you are searching. In addition, I am motivated and enthusiastic, and would appreciate the opportunity to contribute to your firm's success.
 


I can promise that meeting with me will not be a waste of your time and I will make myself available at your convenience, during or outside of normal business hours.
 


Sincerely,
 


Mustafa Phone No: +93 (0) 799 xxx xxx


I think I'll give it a miss, Mustafa, without even opening your enclosure which claims to be (and actually might be) a C.V; at the same time, I'm trying to picture the applicant who considers himself fit for any post, and is so sure about it that he feels it will be worth my while calling him on his phone in Afghanistan about it.
