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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

It's exactly two years since we opened our doors at Well House Manor for our first residential training course delegate, and moved from being just a training provider to being a provider of overnight accommodation too.

And - goodness me - how much water has flowed under the bridge since then ... or should I say "how much coffee has flowed from our coffee machine" - which had its major service / overhaul yesterday, and the engineer told me that it has provided around 7000 (seven thousand) cups. That's not all the coffee we've provided, either - as I write this note at 07:30, a breakfast meeting of around 20 people is drinking percolated coffee, and in their rooms our guests may be making use of their hospitality trays.


I haven't commented here on the current turmoil in the financial markets and the effects it's having on people, but that doesn't mean that I'm blind to the goings on. Like many people, I don't fully understand what's happening and we can't predict with any degree of certainty where it will go in general and how we will be carried along. But what we can do is listen, learn, make plans and run the business in such a way that we carry on positively - providing high quality training and excellent business accommodation into the foreseeable future. More and more at times such as these, customer service is paramount - we had a staff meeting earlier this week at which the wider picture was looked at, and I'm confident that with the great team we have we can continue to provide what our markets are looking for.
