Courses can be specially arranged for you at our Melksham training centre - maximum group size is ten trainees, and you'll have exclusive use of our facilities during the course. Further details of Specially Run Courses are available elsewhere on this site.

We usually tailor private courses to meet your exact requirements, but it's likely that such courses would be based on the following standard formulae:

Using Perl on the Web teaches you the application of Perl on the worldwide web. The course assumes a knowledge or Perl as taught on our Perl Programming course, and extends your knowledge so that you can use Perl to glue applications to the internet.

Perl for Larger Projects extends your understanding of Perl; it covers object orientation, Database connectivity, large data set handling, extended regular expressions and other subjects that you'll need to learn about if you're using Perl as part of a larger project.

Regular Expressions is a day dedicated to pattern recognition and matching - if you are going to be heavily dependent on recognising sequences of characters - from an email address to a credit card number to a DNA sequence, then you should consider attending this day.

MySQL is a two day course covering the structure of database engines and how to write database applications using SQL. As well as SQL itself, this course covers the installation and administration of MySQL, database and table design, security, and using MySQL from Perl and/or PHP and/or Java as appropriate for the trainee group.

Perl Extra is tailored, one-to-one training course for clients who require specialist advanced Perl topics that are not covered on the Perl for Larger Projects or Using Perl on the Web courses.

A full list of modules on Perl is available on this site. Much of this material is specialised, and some of it is not included in any of the courses listed above.

We also have a number of modules on general subjects, modules on MySQL and modules on Internet / web that are often included on custom courses.
