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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

New Lua Examples - for last weeks delegates  When I train you, I promise that when I leave (an onsite course) or you leave (a course at Well House Manor), that won't be the last you hear or see of me if you wish for further help. For the Lua group in this course photo, who's course I finished on Thursday, I have already written and blogged a couple of other answers, and I have now uploaded the examples I wrote during the course ... with extra comments added in every case to ensure that they are useful to this group and also to future delegates, and other newcomers to Lua tooThis was a bigger group than usual, and I was training them further from base than usual, and through a translation service into Spanish. So it's much more practical for individuals with questions to chat with their colleagues, before getting back in touch through our post course support form straight away. But such further follow up is welcomed. Here are the examples: Closure demonstration - see also blog entry User defined sorting ("postman sort") Reading lines from a file, various ways When is the for loop terminations calculated? Functional / Structured coding - an example Basics of creating and naming variables Extracting and counting email addresses from a server log Block structure in Lua Looking through all the files in a directory in Lua Finding what your operating system is Passing parameters to coroutines - see also blog entry Lua's string formatting Pattern matching - anchoring and delimiting Single, double and square bracket strings read from keyboard - calculate - write to screen Lua example What can go in a variable, what are the standard libraries, what are the standard functions in the main namespace? - I have added major comments to this one! Since the course, I have also added a promised example showing an example of graphics in Lua, and I have written up an extra note on interfacing C and C++ to Lua The final five files are all parts of the answer to the town simulation exercise (see here for a more complete description): An answer to the town simulation exercise Town Specification data Main Simulation Program Data (object) type definition Sample output (written 2009-08-01, updated 2009-08-02) Associated topics are indexed as below, or enter http://melksh.am/nnnn for individual articles U050 - Lua - General[2227] Learning PHP, Ruby, Lua and Python - upcoming courses - (2009-06-11) [2309] Lua training class in Spanish - (2009-07-29) [2318] For Lua Programmers AND for Town Planners - (2009-08-02) [2331] Certification Revisted - Lua - (2009-08-09) [2492] Lua Classes - open enrolement - (2009-11-04) [2504] Learning to program in ... - (2009-11-15) [2555] Bookkeeping - (2009-12-29) [2947] Teaching Lua to a Perl advocate - (2010-09-06) [3528] December courses - PHP, Python, Perl - and a weekend Lua course - (2011-11-24) [3724] Learning to Program in Lua - public / open training course / class - (2012-05-09) [4260] Why we teach Lua - (2014-04-08) [4297] Lua courses - an update - (2014-09-18) [4575] Learning not just what a program does, but how to design it in the first place. - (2015-11-06)
