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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Albany - Caerphilly - Dharan - Edinburgh - Frankfurt - Guadalajara - Helsinki - Kingston - Liverpool.



Nine notepad computers all rebuilt with Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) for upcoming courses. A mid-life refresh, if you like. Starting with next week's Linux Course covering Linux basics, Linux Admin overview and web (httpd) and MySQL server building and support. The machines are also loaded with C, C++, Expect, Java, Lua, Perl, Perl6, PHP, Python, Python3, Ruby, Tcl/Tk and Tomcat (in alphabetic order!) ready for other courses in following weeks.

These days, many delegate use their own computers during our courses and that's something we encourage where the subject being taught is a programming language. It means that delegates can work in the operating system and environment in which they'll be working after the course too. It means they can keep their examples easily. It means they can use their own data should they wish. But I always carry one or two systems with me on site so that I can demonstrate / so that people can use my data and examples even if they're not allowed them on secure company systems, etc.

Brugges - Izmir - Juneau ... remain unrebuilt. Izmir and Juneau are instantly recognisable as they have blue cases rather than red ones - bought that way for different uses, and serving those uses admirably internally to this day. Brugges had a slight accident (a.k.a. a certain company insisted it go in checked in baggage, in which their gorillas managed to break the screen) and it now runs as a network server. Motto - never trust a gorilla with a computer ...
