Glossary: LAMP Programming

I love lamp.

LAMP programming has been around for many years. Although there are many variations, it normally stands for:

Linux Apache Mysql Php

Through the years, there have been many variations. For a long time, until PHP became popular, the P stool for Perl. Some people might argue that the P stands for Python. Eh, not really, PHP is much, much more widely used.

You can just use the P to refer to “programming” in general if you like.

  • Linux Apache Mysql Php
  • Linux Apache Mysql Perl
  • Linux Apache Mysql Programming
  • Linux Apache Mysql Python

Are you asking yourself “Should I use MySQL or Oracle?” or are you considering a different alternative to MySQL?

The answer: Use MySQL. Not oracle, not anything else. Just use MySQL. End of discussion.
