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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

As a teacher, I teach a lot of delegates and only hear from a few of them into the future. After all - it's my job to teach them to 'fly' and my role to stay onthe ground and teach the next lot too.

So it's really grattifying to bump into a delegate occasioanlly - as has just happened this Sunday evening on my way to Cambridge. Mark, who attended a Python course at Melksham a few years back, was telling me how he'd used it in his job for the employer who sent him, and now (in a new role with a new company) he's using it for his core work and for lots of other data manipulation too.

I'm delighted it working for him, that he's self supporting, and flattered that he recognised me. I'm afraid I failed to recognise him - which I can put partly down to my lousy memory, and partly down to the shere normallity of training and the number of people I see ... two Python courses again this week, for example.

Training on one of our courses is a short, sharp investment of time and money into learning a subject ... but what Mark learned over 4 days has made a significant difference to what he's doing now and going to still be doing 4 years later. If I was writing a sales pitch (!), I'ld be telling you to book now for your course in 2016, and you'll learn technologies and techniques that will take you forward to 2020, and probably way beyond.
