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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

In Ruby, the chomp method removes the last character of a string if it's a line separator. The puts method adds a new line character on to the output unless there's one already present.

In Perl and other languages, a great deal of time and mental agility is expended in remembering where there are (and where there are not) end of line characters, and this practical ("pragmatic") approach in Ruby really makes life easy.
