When we started running
Perl and
Java courses on our own account, we launched the "Of Course" newsletter - a printed piece that rose from 12 to 24 pages in six years, at two editions per year. The latter printed editions were also available for .pdf download as overseas postage costs rose ... and indeed we moved over to electronic means to stay in touch with our customers - primarily through our web site ... as UK costs grew, and postal distribution became a less and less effective way to reach our customers.
But our customers keep telling us how much they enjoyed "Of Course", with its mixture of programming tips and examples, and news of our courses and from Melksham. And we have a lot more news now too, as we opened "Well House Manor" - our new training centre with accommodation - shortly after the last printed piece.

So I'm very pleased to be able to announce the return of "Of Course" - now in purely electronic form - to be published six times a year (every two months). The new "Of Course" takes advantage of the interactive media, allowing to you explore articles that have been added to our web site in each two month period (mainly via my blog) on subjects that are of interest to
you ... we have moved a long way forward since we just did Perl and Java (in those days, I thought that Python was a type of snake from Burma, and that a Tomcat was a male feline!)
The current - new - 'Of Course' is available
here, with editions for July 2009
here , for May 2009
here and for March 2009
here (and you can step right back through 2008 and 2007 if you wish! Th eissues from 2006 right back to 2002 can be downloaded from
here, and you'll find a list of contents for all the printed editions
here ... as of writing, we still have a handful of copies of even the first issue.
