Elegant languages - Perl, PHP, Python

I'm running a private Python course this week (and next week is the public Python course). So ... I'm thourougly enjoying myself this week with reminders of justy how elegant Python is. Yes - the same can be said for Perl and PHP ... these days, I'm lucky that I can choose to train only in languages that I think are really great

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.
