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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

I'm having a great week running a public PHP course - a near-perfect (from a teaching viewpoint) group of 4 trainees - enough for there to be plenty of interaction, and few enough for everyone to be getting the very best of attention and tailoring of the course. This week, everyone's fit and is a keen walker, and is staying in a local B&B or hotel ... so we took the local OS map and walked out to Seend, on the Kennet and Avon Canal and ate at "The Barge" - one of the lovely country pubs near Melksham.

There are many public footpaths in the area (map) and we saw a good selection - from urban through Bowerhill and well-defined across the field, to the cycleway beside the canal and some more adventurous paths on our return - along the railbed of the old Iron Plateway (Seend was quite an industrial spot) to the site of Seend Station - through a field of cows, then over a field of wheat back to the main road. Now who was it who commented "I didn't know I was coming on a teambuilding exercise ;-) "
