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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
Books and distance learning from Well House Consultants?

A question from my ask the tutor page which really deserves adding to an "FAQ" ... so I'll publish the question and answer here

> Sender - Xxxx Xxxxxxxx (xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.co.uk)
>
> via page - /course/index.html
> do you do any books or distance learning courses


Hi, Xxxx

Thanks for writing / asking. The answer is "yes and no"

Bookwise, we do write and publish our own training notes to go with the courses, which are very thorough in what they cover, as they are designed to be useful to delegates after the course as well as *during*. There are samples at http://www.wellho.net/downloads/ and there is a complete download of the Java course and a few others at http://www.training-notes.co.uk/

Trainingwise, we specialise in providing public courses at our own centre, and for groups we also provide private courses at our centre or private courses on your on site - so we could travel to your location. However, we don't run courses via video links or use the other distance learning techniques as most of our clients are looking for a short, intensive course with immediate recourse to the tutor who's physically in the same location. There *is* a market for online training, training CDs, etc, but that's not quite the market we're in and we would be spreading ourselves too thinly if we tried.

One of the things that we have just scheduled may be of interest to you, though, as it's rather different to the traditional course and is intended for the budget conscious trainee - perhaps working on a club or charity site, or for his own business where it would be a huge decision to go away for a few days during the week. We're doing a two day residential "PHP workshop" at the end of May bank holiday - arrival on the Friday evening, departure on Sunday evening (or stay over to Monday morning if you want to see the area ;-) ) at a cost of 100 pounds per day (+VAT) - the hotel room being an extra 80.00 per night. Please do let me know if that (or anything similar) would be attractive to you.

Graham

Footnote added to this published version .. If you are interested in these weekend sessions - this first one being intended for people who know a bit of PHP but really want to make the best of it in their web site ... please ask. You could do so by filling in the PHP-handled form here where we use captcha scripts to have you re-type a word to ensure you're 'real' something covered over that weekend along with many other topics!
