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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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

I've been writing about the Presentation, Business and Persistence tiers (and within each of them the MVC or Model, View, Controller or MVC structure) for a JBoss presentation I'm doing this week - but I scarcely expected to find myself putting them to good if unusual use this evening when sorting out an old page on our web site which had - err - laid neglected in a Perl script since before the last site update. How to fix this without re-writing what's actually a very nice piece of Perl ...

I've designated the Perl to be the business layer, and I've added an "Internal" interface type to it as well as the "post" and "get" interface.

In my new-look PHP page, I call up the Perl script through that internal interface passing in parameters as appropriate from the PHP using a shell_exec call. The internal interface returns a result set which I can then integrate in my presentation layer.

Neat - and what could have been a major rewrite was done in an hour. I've always said that the Java principles are great for the larger applications / sites and I'm glad to have had an opportunity to apply them!
