A Man in Progress

Finishing the AMP Stack

Yesterday, I learned what it meant to set up a server and an application server in order to start doing some web development.  Today, I learned how to do it.

An “AMP Stack” is a group of three, free software components that make it possible to do web development.

The A stands for Apache, the server software I set up yesterday.

The M stands for mySQL, a database program from Oracle that you can get for free.

The P stands for PHP, the server side scripting language that can be used to build web applications.

Finally, I downloaded the mySQL workbench, which allows for easy creation and use of mySQL databases.  Tomorrow, I’ll begin working on learning how to use these software packages to start doing web application development.
