Perl, Python, PHP, Lua, Linux, and more - and business hotel too. Menu for 2011

Whar are our plans for 2011? "Steady as she goes", I think - a gentle year of building on all we've achieved in the past year, and all that has developed in the last six months. Our hotel at Well House Manor in Melksham provides high quality accommodation for delegates on our public Open Source courses - in a wide range of subjects from Apache to Ruby, C and C++ to Tcl, through Linux and Lua, MySQL and Perl, Python and PHP! And we welcome other visitors to Melksham too - business visitors who need a room, good facilities, spacious workspace in a quite environment, and a blisteringly fast internet connection. Late checkins, early breakfast, colour copier and printer and (of course!) bean to cup coffee.
Our public courses - held in our "Wilts" training room - are limited to eight delegates. That's so that every delegate gets the tutor's time that he or she needs, and that specialist courses can be run well for a wide range of delegate, with everyone benefiting from them. To help this along, the courses in all of the programming languages we teach start at two levels - there are courses titled "learning to program" for those who are new to programming, and other courses for those with good prior experience. And we encourage you to email us (info@wellho.net) or call us (01225 708225) to check that you book the course that's right for you!. We write our own notes, present our own courses - so we know our subjects really well. And that means we can advise you on how the topic will apply to you, and tailor the presentation to meet your needs. We can provide a laptop for you to use during the course - but you are just as welcome to bring your own so that you'll be learning a new skill, but from your own familiar desktop.
But we're not just business. Melksham is set in the beautiful county of Wiltshire, and tourists coming to see Lacock (4 miles), Devizes (6 miles), Corsham (also 6 miles), Avebury and Silbury Hill (10 miles), Bath (12 miles), the White Horses, Longleat, Stonehenge ... are welcomed guests. As are visitors and exhibitors to TrainWest which runs at Melksham each year,to the Town Crier's competition, to the Party in the Park and the Melksham Carnival ... and visitors in town for friend's and relative's christenings, anniversaries and weddings.
Many of our hotel guest come back time and again. Many of our delegates come recommended by colleagues, and we have a saying "come as a student, leave as a friend". We look forward to welcoming back many familiar faces in 2011, and to meeting many new faces from some very familiar organisations.
