Bridging to the customer requirement

Some languages (such as Python) are very simple and elegant in their design yet take a tremendous amout of traffic ... perhaps there's a pararallel to London Bridge there ...

... but other languages have grown up over time and are a little less elegant, such as the combination of road and rail bridges (two of the three survive) at Blackfriars:

Further languages - PHP is a good example amongst those that we teach - fulfill a specailist need; in the case of PHP, it's for web programming, and in the case of Tower Bridge, it's the need for a low level crossing which tall ships can pass

All pictures taken on my walk to and from a private course I was presenting in London in the past few days.

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.
