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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

It's incredible just how much time bookkeeping takes - small adjustments to the various resources we have, tidying up modules that are no longer relevant and pointing any visitors at replacements. There' been a lot of that going on over the last couple of days ... for example:

1. I have deleted two Lua modules from our training courses. They were the original Lua modules, and have now been superceeded by a complete set of modules through which we can teach Learning to Program in Lua or Lua Programming. Here's a line that I've added to the .htaccess file to send anyone who's looking for the old A350 module to the nearest alternative - U050:

RewriteRule ^[aA]350.htm http://www.wellho.net/resources/U050.html [R=301,NC,L]

Options on the rewrite:
R=301 - send out a 'permanent redirect' status, no. 301
NC - No Cache
L - Last - i.e. do not continue on to apply any more rewrite rules

2. I have consolidated two generic XML modules into one - [here]. That's not to say that our XML coverage is limited, but rather we teach XML through and within the languages and technologies within which we use it ... so you'll find resources on Perl and XML, including PHP, XML and XSLT, on Python and XML, etc, elsewhere on the web site, indexed with the relevant courses. You'll find other snippets too - such as a reference to Magpierss and how we use it [here].

3. I have added in a new subject tag (pseudo module) to cover the dog and cat; a lot of posts about the dog since we got her; there are a number of doggie people who want to follow her fortunes which they can do [here], and there are other for whom, frankly, she's not why they're reading this site.

There have also been a few opportunities to get out / get some fresh air / help rechange the batteries ready for next year's training schedule, which starts with an Apache httpd / Tomcat deployment course on 7th January. The picture at the head of this article is of the Wilts and Berks Canal, taken at Wootton Bassett .. and there are more pictures here.


P.S. Did you realise that "Bookkeeping" - the subject of this item - is one of the few English words with three double letters next to each other. Quote appropriate, then, that the picture is of Wootton Bassett which also has a lot of doubles.
