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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
Remember to ask the question before you listen for the answer

I love some of the basics ... like reminding people writing programs that they need to prompt the user to make an input at the keyboard before they read that input - otherwise they'll get people complaining that the program just hangs. In C, from today's course.

  /* Tell the user that you want input before reading from keyboard! */
      printf("How many carriages on the train today? ");
  /* Read a value into length */
      scanf("%d",&length);

Complete example - [here]. C and C++ courses - [here].
