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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
Practical Exception Handling Example
Exceptions example from a Well House Consultants training course

/* Practical Exception Handling Example

This is an example that opens and reads from a data file, storing information into
an ArrayList and a HashMap as it stored the information it needs for a report.

Exceptions used within the main code to trap program runs where no input file is
specified, or the input file named doesn't exist or can't be read. And we've also
used our own exception if our call to "getCountry" isn't going to be able to identify
tehe origin of the request. */

                // Throws an exception if cannot resolve to a country
                // (IRL - use this to call www.maxmind.com's database!)
