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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
Not your cup of tea?

When I travel, I'll usually grab a sandwich or fish and chips of an evening, and eat in my room; there's no great thrill in sitting alone in a hotel restaurant and there's often something on the TV (more than five channels is nice, but still surprisingly uncommon), or work to be done online. But on occasions, I'll have something completely different (and when is that more appropriate that when giving a Python Course?

On Tuesday evening, I ventured into the Cambridge Continental Delicatessen - just across the road from the Hamilton Hotel which is my first choice in Cambridge. Now ... the food I bought wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea (indeed, there's no cup of tea there at all if you look - the drink was coconut milk from Thailand) but it made an interesting change. And the hotel wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea either - if you want a standard plastic hotel, spend twice the price and you'll find a standard chain with standard sized rooms. Both the Hotel and the Delicatessen are a very pleasant change, and both (here's where they really score!) make you very welcome - you feel they really value your business.
