`Of Course` is back!

For 2023 - 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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))

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.

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.
