ONLAMP.COM OFFERS SOLUTIONS FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE WEB DEVELOPMENT
New Site Promotes Optimized, Integrated Use of Linux, Apache, MySQL and Scripting Languages

New York, NY--O'Reilly Network has launched ONLamp.com, a web site promoting the integrated use of several high-performance open source technologies used for web development. The new site is being shown at LinuxWorld Expo in New York this week.

 
LAMP is an acronym describing a suite of powerful web development tools: Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP, Perl, or Python. O'Reilly Network has previously focused on these technologies individually, and now has brought them together in one location to save time for developers.

ONLamp.com will provide articles and resources related to web site performance, development, security, Linux/BSD system administration, Apache installation, Linux multimedia, and MySQL data management.

The new site will feature developers/writers such as Noel Davis writing the Linux Security Alerts column, Dave Phillips finding ingenious ways to enhance Linux performance, and long-time PHP web developer Darrell Brogdon.

Derrick Story will manage the ONLamp editorial content, and Chris Coleman, Open Source Editor, will work with developers to deliver a steady stream of cutting-edge technology articles. 
 
ONLamp's reference section will include such resources as a directory of important LAMP-related products, helpful tutorials, in-depth columns by experts, industry analysis, and audio roundtables on key issues.

The term LAMP originated in Germany and is gaining currency among North American developers as a shorthand for the suite of tools that serious open source web developers use.

While the acronym LAMP is relatively new, its technologies are not. For example, IDC reports that Linux is currently used by 20 million people worldwide. Apache is the most popular web server (source: Netcraft survey). MySQL.com, reflecting the popularity of the database software's use, receives 8.7 million of page views per month.
 
Heavily-visited sites such as Amazon.com have long relied on Perl and a
host of other open source technologies. All of the O'Reilly and O'Reilly Network sites, receiving a combined total of more than 3 million unique visitors per month, also rely on the LAMP technologies. 

As the premier provider of open source books, online  information and technical conferences, O'Reilly has long been respected for its expertise and support of these popular open source technologies. The O'Reilly Network team, like O'Reilly & Associates' book publishing team, is experienced at providing reliable, useful information, as well as finding and recruiting leaders in the technical community to share their expertise with O'Reilly developers.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
