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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Writing Your Own Simple Client and Server
Exercises, examples and other material relating to training module P402. This topic is presented on public course Using Perl on the Web

You might wonder if you really need to write such programs these days but, yes, there are times that you want to write test programs against which to run a stanard client or server, and times that you want to provide a specialist tool that talks directly to another network process.

3874Using Perl to read an RSS feed off a web site and extract data - via LWP and XML modules
Perl is excellent glue-ware ... something I was reminded of towards the end of Friday's Perl Programming Course. A delegate asked me how easy it is to grab an XML resource from the web (such as an RSS feed) and extract data from it. Well - you could write the code yourself, or you could use standard ...

2047Small Web Server in Perl
I would not encourage you to write your own web server in Perl, but I might suggest that you used the http protocol as a convenient intersystem communication protocol ... and that might result in you implementing part of http for the purpose ;-) With that proviso in mind, I have just added source code ...
