NEW SERVER - 11.9.2020 ... Retiring, March 2020 - sorry, you have missed our final public course. The Coronavirus situation has lead us to suspend public training - which was on the cards anyway, with no plans to resume
Please ask about private 'maintenance' training for Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, etc
Happily continuing private consultancy / programming work |
Put the answer in context - it may be printed
Always remember that your web appllication user is likely to print out the final page and keep it. And it will be pretty useless to him if it doesn't contain certain information - information such as the inputs he made in order to produce the page.
Q: At what time on 7th December do .... trains leave Melksham for Swindon, after 5 p.m.
A: 17:02 and 21:33
But don't just output the two times. Restate the question in the answer, even adding in extra confirmatory gems: "Trains for Swindon leave Melksham (after 17:00) leave at 17:02 and 21:33 on Thursday, 7th December".
There are excpetions - people would get rather unhappy with you if you echoed their password of their credit card details, though they will be thankful for the last 4 digits of their card number so that they can recall, later, which card it was that they used. (written 2006-09-08)

the diary and writings of Graham Ellis.
Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the
page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software
releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via
our main site for current courses,
prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth"
cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
