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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

As part of our growing participation within the local community, we entered the front garden at our training centre into "Melksham in Bloom"... and we've just been notified that our garden has been awarded second place in the "most unusual garden" category and third in the prestigious and hard-fought "large front garden" class. Not bad for a new entrant!

Our garden's moved on a long way from 1999, when we moved here. In those days, the back was a jungle in which you could find buried car parts, the remains of what was probably a concrete airraid shelter and brambles and nettles galore. The front was a tired section of lawn (in reality, more of a moss carpet) that straggled into a worn out and rutted driveway that formed two long ponds in the wheel tracks in the slightest of rains.


Lisa and I don't have 'green fingers'; the transformation and ongoing maintainance work wouldn't have been possible without Christine and Jane who planned and oversaw the transformation, and Nigel of Gardenworks who comes by most weeks to keep it in order for us. Thank you - Nigel, Jane and Christine.



Customers who attend our public courses (PHP, Linux, Perl, Python etc) are welcome to wander around our gardens during breaks and after class.
