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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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)) |
Colour doesn't have to mean colourful
In my early days of putting together websites, I used to confuse "colour" and "colourful". It's a common trait of the programmer who's required to do a little graphics art as well to use string, vibrant colours and pictures ... but there are actually times where subtle colouring is much more effective.
Here are three pictures taken in the last couple of days. Yes, they ARE colour pictures rather than monochrome ones, but the colour is all the more effective from being subdued.
