Got home, 9pm last night, from Venice and our Mediterranean Cruise. It was very hard work and we get back exhausted, but I think that's going to be a hard thing for me to sell to anyone who happens to be reading "The Horse's Mouth".

I can tell you of a revitalised enthusiasm for PHP, and for MySQL (although the enthusiasm was always there). Listening to the originators of MySQL and PHP talk about them, I came to realise not only what excellent pieces of software they are, but also to appreciate that the people behind them really know what they're doing, have future plans, have a great deal of sense, and these pieces of software will continue to fulfil their role for many years. I can also tell of a re-affirmation that the move from Perl 5 to Perl 6, though it is taking far longer than originally anticipated, is in the best long term interest of the language. I'll be writing more on these points, and in our notes, over coming days, weeks, and months.

For today, I have a Tcl course to give, emails to catch up on, and I need to recover from a week of travelling, lectures, eating, visiting ports and the rest of the hectic on-board life. Can I convince you that last week was very hard work??

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - 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.
