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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Tags used in writing this blog

This blog has been running for a very long time ... and so some of the tags I use are a bit ~~out of date~~ old fashioned. These days, our scripts tidy up / convert many of the tags when old articles are called up from archives but we still maintain the blog using the older stuff. For the sake of my proofreaders, here are the commonly used tags and special characters.

• Tags

<i> to </i> for italic
<b> to </b> for bold
<u> to </u> for underline
<s> to </s> for strinkethrough

<code> to </code> for fixed width font for source examples
<font color=xxxx> to </font> for text colour - examples in this old post
<a href=xxxxx target=zzz> to </a> for a link
<img src=xxxx width=xxx border=x hspace=xx align=left /> for an image
<br clear=all /> to start a fresh block after an image

<table><tr> ... </tr></table> (more attricbutes are used here)
<th> ... </th> table header cell
<td> ... </td> table data cell

• Special characters

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.
