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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Is it ...

a) A piece of pure luck
or b) Something about my looks / manner
or c) A very clever database app

that lead me to be upgraded when I check in to the Radisson in Glasgow last night?

The Radisson is a modern hotel in the heart of Glasgow - just a couple of streets from where I'm running an Apache httpd and Tomcat course. A little up market from my norm, but convenient for the location, and heck why not for one night? But, yes I was suprised to be upgraded and found myself wondering "why". I'm going to put it down to a trained checkin operator, seeing a business credit card offered and finding from the database that I had never stayed with the chain before.
