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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

If you've ever looked at the headers you receive back from your web server, you may have noticed an Etag. What is it?

An Etag is an "entity tag" and it provides a unique identifier for the resource being supplied. Browser requests can use an etag and an if-match header to check whether a resource has been modified since it was served, providing an efficient caching facility that relies on content rather than on timeouts.
