MicroNugget: What is LAMP (Linux, Apache MySQL, PHP)?

In this video, Tim Warner covers the basics of the LAMP solution stack, which is comprised of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. These support the building of web application servers, are easy to set up, and are ideal for development environments.

There are three core constituents of any dynamic data-driven website (also called a “web app”). These include a web server software that’s associated with a host operating system, some kind of back-end database for read/write data storage and retrieval, and a programming framework.

The framework needs to be able to present your web pages dynamically to your users, allow for interaction, and plug into the back-end database. The combination of the technologies and protocols used in that web application framework is called a “solution stack.”

It can be a fairly daunting process to get those tools aggregated before you begin creating apps, but LAMP is easy to set up and ideal for development environments.
