Writing For The Web
A fun review of 10 years' web training
by Malcolm Davison
I often tell anecdotes on my courses but have never committed them to paper. So here are a few to mark 10 very enjoyable years of web training. Thank you to all my clients who have been kind enough to invite me into their workplaces over the years. There are many other tales that I haven't included, and industry sectors I haven't covered. There are some larger corporate clients that are also absent from these - but I had to stop somewhere!

Loadsamoney boyo!

Sir Humphrey was not at home that day
A course run in the prestigious location of Whitehall did not turn out to be quite what I had expected.
