The Building Blocks of LAMP Development

LAMP Stack

From 2001 - 2016 I used this as my only platform. I prefer a different environment now, working primarily in Node.js, MySQL/MongoDB and NGINX. Here is a brief description of the LAMP Stack: (Attribution given to Wikipedia)

Linux

Linux is an open-source, freely changeable and redistributable operating system for servers and desktops, as well as a number of mobile devices and supercomputers, too. It is commonly used in server environments where reliability and security are of the utmost importance. In the mobile marketplace, Android is a Linux distribution authored and maintained by Google.

Apache

Apache Web Server Wiki

The Apache HTTP Server, commonly referred to as Apache, is web server software notable for playing a key role in the initial growth of the World Wide Web.

I have given up Apache for NGINX, personally.

MySQL

MySQL is an open source RDBMS, Relational DataBase Management System. MySQL is popular because it is reliable, performs well and is an economical way to power websites. LAMP development (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP also Perl and Python) applications make use of MySQL, which is used by big players such as Google and Adobe as well as folks like you and me.

PHP
