I had been on a Pipex 1 day course on html in Jan ‘95 and coded up my first page, then went on to build up a site and push it live. I remember being really scared that anyone in the world could see and read what I had designed but the excitement was extreme. This really was something new.

Was 3 or 4 days before it got its first visit. Bit of a letdown, but set expectations for the future! 🤣

@simoncox @sarajw @danhon did you work for Pipex or did they offer training to the public?

Think the firm I worked for paid for the training from Pipex - they brought someone down from Shetland to London to teach us.

@simoncox @sarajw @danhon Amazing. Stuff like this will be forgotten eventually.

I went to Cyberia in Manchester to learn JavaScript in ~2002. Cyberia now long gone also.

I can’t remember why they sent me - so glad they did - wasn’t part of my job at that point. I remember Cyberia in London but don’t remember going in.

@simoncox @sarajw @danhon yeah me too — never went in. Cyberia in Manchester was on Oxford Rd very close to the train station and university/Hacienda.
