Answering a question with a question

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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

I have a target of giving a good answer to 90% of questions that I am asked in email within 48 hours of receiveing the question, and on a first response ... but just occasionally, we have to accept that we have to ask supplimentary questions. Here are two that have pulled my average down so far this week:

Q: As part of our GCSE ICT course we have to make E-Cards. In these E-cards we have to put photos in. As a result of this I have chosen a picture off of your website and I need permission for it to go on my coursework. Could you please reply back saying if I can/cannot use this?

A: Please tell me which photo you're interested in usingi. Most of them are © Well House Consultants and I can grant permission as described here, but a few are other people's pictures that we host, and I'll have to refer you to them for permission.

Q: I would like to attend C++, C#, Java courses at your training center. Could You please provide me with the necessary information regarding the mentioned courses?

A: We run a whole series of different C and C++ and Java courses ... but I need to know a little bit more before I can send you information about the right course. To start with, can you tell me if you have ever programmed before, and if so in what language ...

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.
