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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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










The human body is a very efficient heater ... and it's surprising just how much heat is put out by equipment such as laptop computers. So the last three days in Nuremberg, training a group of 20 in what I'm told is a heatwave for here has been hot. That was 21 people + 21 laptops = 42 heater units in the room - and that big "do we / don't we" question about opening the windows - whether the slight air circulation would help, or would be more than negated by the noise of the chap walking up and down with a noisy lawnmower. A lovely group of delegates, but certainly a tough course to present on the final afternoon.


I noticed one of the whiteboards saying:

   print "It is far TOO hot\n";

as I tidied the room at the end of the course, which confirms that they had learned some Perl, and confirms the sense of humor too.

I wandered around the city for a final time last night, and took the pictures featured above. I head off today - back on the long overland journey, and I'll have many more pictures and stories to tell when I next check in.
