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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

4270Embedding Lua to perform tailored code at an interval
Lua is a language that's commonly embedded within other products - a game, or a control system, for example - in order to provide a programmable tailoring of that other product. It's a great language for that - it's small, it's free, it has a suitable open source license, and it comes as a C library ...

3395Parallel but not really parallel. Moving game characters. Coroutines in Lua.
Virtual World game programming involves moving many characters - both player controlled and automatic - in parallel. The movements of each character depend - to a greater or lesser extent - on the prior movements of the character, and of the other charcaters and the resultant position and condition that ...

2455Lua examples - coroutines, error handling, objects, etc
I have presented a bespoke Lua course over the last three days ... and it has lead me to some interesting new examples which I'm sharing here. Object Orientation is more a way of thinking and coding than a language feature in Lua - when you set up a piece of data / structure / object, you do so in a ...

2314Passing parameters to a coroutine in Lua
Lua's coroutines, like Python's generators, provide for something which is akin to lightweight threading - rather than a strict functional calling stack, where one function must be completed before another is invoked, you can call a code block (function or method) and have it yield back to the calling ...

1699If you are learning Lua, here are some more examples
During some courses, I write few (if any) new examples in front of my delegates, rather relying on the standard ones in the training notes (which I wrote anyway!) and making small changes and adjustments to illustrate how things work. On other courses, though, I write a some new examples from scratch ...

1691Co-routines in Lua - co-operative processing
CoRoutines in Lua allow you to have a number of pieces of co-operative code which (whilst they’re not running in parallel in a true multithreaded way) allow you to progress through multiple strands of your code at the sametime. Let’s take an example. I have a rather large text file that ...
