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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
Igloos melt in the summer, but houses do not

In Germany, a house will grow in value over the years (perhaps current economic climate excluded) but an Igloo will loose all of its value in summer (it will melt!).From last week's Perl course, where I briefly covered object orientation in Perl (the course briefing only asked me to cover it briefly), I present [here] my Igloo and House example - defining classes of house and igloo, and providing different methods to get the value of each type after a number of years.

I also went on to separate out the class(es) from the main code in a further example - the main code is [here] and the extra classes are [here]. You'll note that I've inherited all classes from a base class thing into which I wrote an AUTOLOAD method. That way, I can set and get all my properties (attributes) of all the object types without having to write lots of accessor methods. Perl is REALLY neat, if a trifle unconventional at time!


Illustration - a variety of housing in Frankfurt ... but none of it is igloos!

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.
