Back in the saddle again - excellent open source course from Well House Consultants

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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

Why should you come on a course I run at Well House Consultants? Because you want to learn, learn effectively, and enjoy the course, and pay a sensible price.

Those of you with whom I'm in touch from time to time will know that in the summer I was laid low with ear and balance problems, and took some time to get back. I now 'report' myself as back to 90% of what I was (won't ever be back to 100% hearing or balance) - but training again and providing what I'm told is still an excellent product. Last week, I presented a Ruby course for a third party - using my materials / techniques - in a very difficult situation where a previous course from another tutor had gone so wrong that it had been abandoned. This message - received today - make it all so worthwhile.

"I [82][ac] Ä ve just spoken to my contact at [company] with regards to the Ruby course you delivered and I wanted to pass on the below feedback to you. Thank you so much for a great delivery.
* Tutor was excellent
* Best course they have ever been on
* Loved Graham's teaching techniques
* Graham was technical and explained really well"

And - as you may have guessed - I really enjoyed giving that course!

Public course schedules are online already from January to June 2016 - see [here], and we're open for bookings for private courses - please email, use the enquiry form, Skype, Facebook, or phone to ask.

P.S. We teach Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, C, C++, Tcl and Lua on scheduled public courses. We can also help with topics like shell (bash) and some Java, Linux, Apache Web Server, Cucumber, Django, Flask, CodeIgniter and Tomcat requirements too. Even if it's "just one delegate" please do ask.
