Course types. We run a range of Public Courses, which are ideal if you have just one to three trainees. For four or more trainees, our Private Courses (at your offices) are likely to be more cost-effective for you. We also run Specially Run Courses - at our offices, if your requirement isn't part of one of our standard courses.

We'll tailor any private course to meet your exact requirements; the following paragraphs describe our standard course(s) which also provide the starting point for custom courses:

Python Programming is a three day course covering the Python object oriented scripting language for those with some prior programming experience. The course runs from the basics of the language through its object oriented facilities to interfacing to SQL databases, Graphic User Interfaces, and the XML and Web use of Python.

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.

A full list of modules on Python 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.

Java Programming for the Web is a five day course covering the Java language itself for those who have programmed before, and the more commonly used standard classes such as String, Utilities, IO, as well as Servlet, Applet and JSP topics. Also covers Regular Expressions and other Java2 5.0 enhancements. If you'll be responsible for deploying web applications in Java, you might also like to look at Deploying Apache and Tomcat. Attendees who will be using Java in larger, threaded or distributed applications will want to consider Java Extra in addition.

Java Extra is tailored training on a one-to-one basis to cover extra topics required by individual clients as they explore the more advanced features of Java.

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.

At Well House Consultants, we're also experienced in Solaris, Mac OS X, Motif, FrameMaker, HTML, XML and other technologies. Although we don't have current training material on these, please do ask us if you have training requirements which include elements on these subjects.
