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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
itcl and tk together - full app
this example from a Well House Consultants training course

set decription {

Reads in data files from the October 2014 TransWilts Passenger Surveys, and rail
station information for OS grid references for all 2537 stations on the national network.

Works out the journey distance for each journey reported during the survey from each of the
TransWilts Stations (and also for journeys that were through journeys) and allows the user
to select via a Tk GUI which stations to display a cumulative display of journey lengths
