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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

"Can you give me an easy first example" ... a common question on a course and - yes, I usually can. And so can other tutors. But then they go on and add things to make them complicated. So here is a really easy JSP example!

JSP is what I call an "HTML++ language" ... you write the HTML of the web page and you embed, within it, extra code of a sort that the browser wouldn't understand. Then you add a filter on your web server telling it to identify these extra codes (tags) and perform the instructions they contain.

Here is the HTML++ code ...

<% int wide = 5; int deep = 3;
int spaces = wellho.Utils.mully(wide, deep); %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Laptops I have poured coffee over</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is my web page</h1>
You have room for
<%= spaces %> laptops
<hr>
Copyright etc
</body>
</html>


... and here is the result of running it, as received by my browser ...

<html>
<head>
<title>Laptops I have poured coffee over</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is my web page</h1>
You have room for
13 laptops
<hr>
Copyright etc
</body>
</html>


The original code from <% to %> is Java statements that the web server runs, and the code from <%= to %> is a Java expression which is worked out, cast to a string, and output.

To complete the example, I chose to call a method in another java class (wellho.Utils.mully) to perform my calculations - it's representative of the work that goes on (business logic) behing my web page. Here's the source code that defined it:

package wellho;
public class Utils {
public static int mully(int dis, int dat) {
  int wesult = dis * dat -2;
  return wesult;
  }
}


We've just scheduled - at short notice - two extra Java courses for May. Learning to program in Java from 11th and Java Bootcamp which starts a day later for those with prior programming experience. As this is a very late offering, you could twist my arm to give you five days for the price of four, or four days for the price of three. And the groups size will be 'just a handful' so there will be a superb tutor to student ratio to ensure that every delegate gets a lot from the course.
