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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Getting the lighting right

I never cease to be amazed at the number of expensivley-build, lavishly-equipped modern conference and training rooms that have all their lights operated by a single switch. The walls are well lit in these rooms, which means that the lights have to be switched off in order for anything projected onto them to be seen ... leaving traineed fumbling for keys on their laptops, or straining to read notes and add further annotations to them.

In our own training centre, you won't get the impression of a modern room; there's Georgian plasterwork (cornicing) in the room in our nearly-200-year-old listed building, but there's also five discrete controls on the lights allowing us to provide you with good light onto your notes, while leaving our projector screen dark if we so choose.

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
