I could never have imagined when I wrote in the Spring, 2001 edition of "Of Course" "Just because we don't offer courses in PHP or Python or MySQL.... doesn't mean we can't help" ... where that comment would lead.

This week, I'm running our two-monthly PHP Programming course - today will be the first day and it will continue on to Friday. Yesterday was available as a Technology for PHP day for potential trainees who aren't up to speed on underlying technologies such as web site structure, HTML, and the principles of programming and database design, and we also offer an object oriented programming in PHP advanced day. Next week, I'm running a MySQL course on Monday and Tuesday, and Python Programming for the rest of the week.

PHP, Python, and MySQL (not forgetting Perl, the language in which this appliaction is written) are fabulous technologies - I can't imagine where we (or this web site) would be without them - they provide for fast, efficient application development that means that one can achieve in a day what would have taken a week with previous generation languages - and a month two generations ago. And I expect that they'll get to be more efficient yet - certainly PHP has come on since the days of PHP 4.0.x, which was out just as I started to use the language ... and I'm off on a Geek Cruise next month to learn further of the current trends and developments in Perl, in MySQL ... and also to attend what promises to be a fascinating lecture on PHP applications by the originator.
