People come to us in Melksham for our Open Source training courses - we teach Perl, PHP, Python. We teach Java, Ruby and Lua. We teach C, C++ and Tcl. Not to mention Linux, Tomcat deployment and
MysQL.
Our courses are intensive - you'll find that we run a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. day, and in addition the tutor's available for delegates for about an hour before the start, and into the evening. For residential delegates who are staying with us at
Well House Manor, there's access to the library and training room at other times too - any time you like, using your keycard.
But there's a limit to how long anyone wants to study, and a walk in the countryside, a meal out, and other activities - usually with other delegates - can turn an excellent course into a superb overall experience.

[imgr=coeve020]Luncheon at Lacock[/img]Delegates come from all over the world - these are students from Finland who (if memory serves) were learning Python. And one lunch time, we took a slightly longer break (made up for at the end of the day) to show them something truly British for lunch - and also the beautiful village of
Lacock that's just 4 miles up the road.
[imgl=coeve019]Evening trip to Avebury[/img]We love the countryside around
Melksham. Here's an evening picture when we took delegates to see the
Avebury stone circle and other local sites.
[imgr=coeve003]Breakfast at Well House Manor[/img] We provide a lighter, healthier breakfast rather than a fry-up. Freshly baked bread, meats and cheeses, yogurts, freshly squeezed orange juice (yes, really - you put the oranges in and run the machine yourself) ... fresh fruit, teas, bean-to-cup coffee ....
