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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
Business is the predominant user of Tomcat, Perl and Tcl

I started using Open Source languages as a hobby about 10 years ago, but I became involved in them with my work ("Graham ... you know some Perl, don't you? .....") and these days I'm fortunate to earn my living from what was just a hobby.

Is the predominant use of Open Source languages the hobby / personal user, or the business user? How could we possibly find any statistics / measures / indicators?

I've noticed a consistent pattern in our web logs from this site - our traffic is double on a Monday - to - Friday compared to our Saturday and Sunday traffic; I can read an "ls" report of daily log files like a calendar to tell me days of the week. And the difference is even more significant as we have a noticeable "crawler" traffic from search engines indexing our pages which averages out to a constant 7-day-a-week, 24-hour-a-day spread.

Search engine terms give a further clue - that's words entered into known search engines that bring visitors to our site:
For Tomcat for every visitor on Sunday, we got 2.94 on Monday
For Perl, the ratio is 1 : 2.73
For Tcl, it is 2.63
and those are pretty significant figures; I've looked around at some of our other subjects too - and the ratio for PHP is 2.09, for Java is 2.05, and for Python is 1.88; slightly lower figures but still significant.

Overall sample size for the detailed statistics was 15000 search terms entered on Sunday and Monday last for hits on our www.wellho.net web site.
