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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

We're so busy during the week at the moment that I'm running an extra Ruby Course this weekend. The main use of Ruby is within "Ruby on Rails", but our course concentrates on the language itself and so it's suitable for people who are using RSpec, cucumber and Watir as well as Rails.

Here are some links to new Ruby examples added this morning, from yesterday's practicals:


A simple read - calculate - print example in Ruby

Common Ruby Pitfalls

Alternative ways of writing loops in Ruby

Loops and conditionals exercise

Sample class and test program showing common object features in Ruby

Counting events in a file using a Ruby hash

Embedding variables in strings in Ruby
(written 2008-11-16)
