Open Source Programming

Server-Side programming enables websites to deliver fast dynamic data to their users. PHP is an open-source language supporting rapid database and e-commerce solutions. The MYSQL database is a lightweight (in terms of server resources) yet powerful enough tool to meet small and medium-size database requirements. Approximately sixty percent of the webserver market is hosted by Apache Web Servers. PHP MySQL and Apache come packaged with most distributions of the Linux operating system and form what is commonly called LAMP. Students in this course will learn how the four work together to solve most web application requirements.
