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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Perhaps this is the "picture postcard" that you'll expect to see from a trip far from the UK - and indeed, it's a picture taken in Guadalajara yesterday, as I took an easier day that usual to recover from the jetlag, catch up on some sleep, and also went across to the place I'll be training to meet the folks and check that everything is on order. With a group of around 30 delegates, and with a translation service converting my English into Spanish, this is not a 'run of the mill course'. Most of the delegates are a new intake who only started work yesterday (and I sat and observed body language and interaction as they were taking through things like where to park in the neighbourhood), with a major part of the company's project being to upskill people, sponsored by the Mexican government, rather than the final products. The training room is also new; it was nearing completion yesterday - painting and carpetting still being done in the breakout rooms, computers covered in plastic and being started / having Lua installed. So this will be an "opening course" for the room - hopefully there will be few or no major teething troubles, but I know that the networking will be limited.


Another picture?

That's an image at random from the ones that I have uploaded (so I am presenting my HTML to cope with horizontal and vertical) which will change each time you come back. In some circumstances, I am caching to avoid too many reloads to a simple refresh may not illustrate the changes. But there are pictures of the area, the suburb we are situated in, the hotel room (you may wonder - I do this routinely to let us compare / look for ideas that we should or should not, must or must not borrow!), and a couple of the place and people where I'll be.


If you want to link to see each of the images (outside our own tight knit group, I don't expect many will) see here here here here here here here here here here here here here here and here. Phew!
