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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
A story of goldfish

Lisa put five goldfish in our pond the summer before last. We looked at the pond the day after they were introduced and we could see three - but there was plenty of pondweed to hide the others. A day or two later we could only see one fish, and even that was nowhere to be seen a week later.

Recently, Leah came in from the garden. "I thought you didn't have any fish in the pond" she says. Well - there was one and he's this long. And indeed, looking more closely there's a number of darker fish in the pond too that can only be the originals - we've certainly never put any other fish in there!

How easy it is not to notice something, someone, some member of the back room team? Yet all contribute to the ecology of the pond, the running and the overall success of the company.
