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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Perl/Tk
Exercises, examples and other material relating to training module P307. This topic is presented on public course Perl for Larger Projects

Tk provides a very powerful GUI (Graphic User Interface) to Perl. You can use it to build a window with buttons, text entry boxes, sliders and graphics, and then use that window to control and report on an application.

3009Expect in Perl - a short explanation and a practical example
Around 20% of delegates on our Tcl Courses are using Tcl because of the Expect package that extends it to "choreograph" interaction with other systems and processes, and yet the Expect module in Perl (Expect.pm) is decidedly niche and we cover it on our Perl for Larger Projects course only on request. ...

599Perl/Tk real time display
It's a real pleasure to be having an opportunity at the tail end of this week to write some examples that are combining Perl, Tk, and OO techniques.

596The magic of -textvariable
If you're writing a GUI based application, you'll need to hold pertinent information in variables in your program, AND display that pertinent information to the user.

738(Perl) Callbacks - what are they?
In most programming applications, you'll write code that calls system functions or subroutines - for example, you'll write a program that reads data from a file (via a system call), splits the data into an array (perhaps via a further system call), and prints it out (through system calls).
