Back to our roots ... posts to The Horse's Mouth have ranged from Cancer Balls to MySQL, from Train Campaigns to Perl programming, and from comments on the local Chippy through to Linux tips. Lest I forget, we're an Open Source training company! I wrote the following as a brief introduction for a snail-mail sheet; for any new users who stumble upon it - this is what I / we do ....
We're providers of niche training courses in Open Source Programming languages and associated technologies.
Perl - PHP - Python - Tcl/Tk - MySQL - Linux - Apache httpd/Tomcat
Public courses run on each of the above subjects at our Melksham, Wiltshire, England training centre to a regular schedule published a year ahead on our web site and in the "Of Course" newsletter that's with this letter.
We write all our own courses, and they're presented by our own tutor. We have met and learnt from the authors and other leading figures of the languages we teach, and we're users of them in real life applications too. That means we have an exceptional background of knowledge to pass on.
Other things are exceptional too: We limit public courses to just seven trainees to ensure that every single person who attends gets the best of attention to their particular questions and application, and we even run courses if there's just one person booked. Once you've confirmed your place, you're guaranteed that the course will run.
All trainees have the choice of a Windows or Linux workstation or an Apple computer to use for the duration of the course, and all their work is forwarded by email after the course. Course notes are provided ... around 60 pages of detailed A4 text per day ... and we even offer post-course support at no extra charge through our forum and email.
If you've a group of four or more trainees that require the same course at the same time, we can run a private course, tailored to cover just the aspect that you wish to be covered. For larger groups, we'll travel out to your offices and run the course on your site...just provide a room and the students; we provide equipment, tutor, notes and everything else.
Please see our web site, or email, or phone if you would like to discuss your particular requirements. We're all techies involved with the technologies we teach and can advise you on how we can best help.
