Royal Wedding. How William and Catherine have changed our schedule

April 29th, 2011 ... will you be watching the Royal Wedding, or would you prefer to be learning about mod_proxy_balancer linking the Apache httpd server to Apache Tomcat on one of our "Tomcat Courses?". We rather suspect that most of our customers would prefer to be in front of the TV ... or if they object on principle to the Royal Wedding, be making the most of their extra day of holiday.

The week of 25th April becomes a very short week - starting with Easter Monday and ending with the wedding ... and I have moved course that were scheduled then to the weeks of 4th April and 9th May ... and as a result of a request for an earlier Lua course, I'm moved the 4th April course on that subject to 28th February; happy to do so, as the effect of the Royal Wedding change was to overload the 4th April week. April and May are always difficult times to schedule, with so many of the weeks shortened and days leading up to - and after - them being distinctly hard to sell.

So ...

Learning to Program in Lua - from 28th February [link]
Lua Programming - from 1st March [link]
Regular Expressions - 4th March [link]

Learning to Program in Ruby - from 4th April [link]
Ruby Programming - from 5th April [link]
Ruby on Rails day - 8th April [link]

PHP Techniques (an advanced 2 day course) - from 26th April [linki]
Perl for Larger Projects (advanced 3 day course) - from 26th April [link]
MySQL relational database (2 day course) - from 27th April [link]
(The week will be an "options" week - we offer a handful of specialized courses, and whichever is the first to take a booking is the one that we run. See [here])

Learning to program in Tcl - from 8th May [link]
Tcl Programming - from 9th May [link]
The Apache Http Server and Tomcat - from 12th May [link]

Remember - that's just four weeks of next year - there are lots of other courses too. We're starting straight back in January with C and C++. Linux Courses run the second week in January, and then we have a PHP course in the third week. In February, we're teaching Java and Python. The next Perl courses - after the ones still scheduled in the lead up to Christmas - are in March.

P.S. I Wish Catherine (Kate) and William a great wedding day, and a long and happy life together.
