Back in the saddle again - excellent open source course from Well House Consultants
Why should you come on a course I run at Well House Consultants? Because you want to learn, learn effectively, and enjoy the course, and pay a sensible price.
Those of you with whom I'm in touch from time to time will know that in the summer I was laid low with ear and balance problems, and took some time to get back. I now 'report' myself as back to 90% of what I was (won't ever be back to 100% hearing or balance) - but training again and providing what I'm told is still an excellent product. Last week, I presented a Ruby course for a third party - using my materials / techniques - in a very difficult situation where a previous course from another tutor had gone so wrong that it had been abandoned. This message - received today - make it all so worthwhile.
"I [82][ac] Ä ve just spoken to my contact at [company] with regards to the Ruby course you delivered and I wanted to pass on the below feedback to you. Thank you so much for a great delivery.
* Tutor was excellent
* Best course they have ever been on
* Loved Graham's teaching techniques
* Graham was technical and explained really well"
And - as you may have guessed - I really enjoyed giving that course!
Public course schedules are online already from January to June 2016 - see
[here], and we're open for bookings for private courses - please email, use the enquiry form, Skype, Facebook, or phone to ask.
P.S. We teach Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, C, C++, Tcl and Lua on scheduled public courses. We can also help with topics like shell (bash) and some Java, Linux, Apache Web Server, Cucumber, Django, Flask, CodeIgniter and Tomcat requirements too. Even if it's "just one delegate" please do ask.
