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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

#!/usr/bin/env tclsh

# Creating and using objects, cget and configure

# Load in the Object Oriented extension
package require Itcl

itcl::class train {
        variable len
        variable seat
        variable when
        public variable where
        constructor {length seats time destination} {
                set len $length
                set seat $seats
                set when $time
                set where $destination
                }

        method getcapacity {} {
                return [expr int(1.4 * $seat * $len)]
                }
        }

set ocount 0
set s1 [train train_[incr ocount] 2 75 "06:38" "Southampton Central"]
set s2 [train train_[incr ocount] 1 78 "07:49" "Swindon"]

set services [list $s1 $s2]
