1. LAMP, WAMP and..
L. Grewe

2. Motivaiton html, css, media
Basic Web Systems with Delivery of Static and Dynamic Web Pages
html, css, media
javascript (“dynamic” on client ---this is not the same as dynamic used here for dynamic website)
php, java, python, ruby, .net, nodeJS, …

3. Basic Client/Server Request/Response Sequence

4. Dynamic Client/Server Request/Response
$query
$result

5. Static Web
Need only Web Server (e.g. Apache)

6. Dynamic Web –MANY possibilities
BASIC POSSIBILITIES (here featuring opensource /free solutions)
LAMP = Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP
WAMP = Windows, Apache, MySQL, and PHP
MAMP = Mac, Apache, MySQL, and PHP

7. Dynamic Web- MANY possibilities
JavaScript
Client-side scripting access to elements of HTML document
Perform data handling and web server requests in background
PHP
Server-side scripting
Open source, simplicity and built-in links to MySQL database
MySQL
Open-source Relational Databases that supports structured queries and is free to use and install on web servers
Apache Server
Open source server software that serves up HTML, media files etc
PHP handles main work on web server, MySQL manages data, and JavaScript looks after web page presentation. JavaScript can also talk with your PHP code on the web server whenever it needs to update something (either on the server or on the web page).

8. Dynamic Web, AJAX and Web 2.0
JavaScript specifies web page interactivity and presentation
PHP handles main work on web server and retrieves data
MySQL manages and stores data
JavaScript performs data handling & server requests in background
JavaScript can also talk with PHP code on the web server to update data or presentation (either on server or web page)
JavaScript used for AJAX and Web 2.0
“Asynchronous JavaScript and XML”
Ajax is the main process behind what is now known as Web 2.0
Process of accessing the web server in the background

9. WHY LAMP Opensource/free Industry Standard Documentation
Widely deployed –history –BUT

10. Why NOT LAMP
But management is a hassle:
Configuration, tuning
Backup and recovery, disk space management
Hardware failures, system crashes
Software updates, security patches
Log rotation, cron jobs, and much more
SCALABILITY ISSUES  this leads to CS6320 class and discussion of Web Systems (distributed, cloud, etc)
SPEED/CAPABILITIES  is Php the best choice for server side programming?
Facebook used to be the largest LAMP based company but, things are changing.

11. Things changing---consider the “simple” web server
Here Apache is no longer the CLEAR winner (from July 2013) –Nginx (“engine-x”) ….Apache

12. Who really knows the truth???
Different numbers from different agency

13. Server side programming languages
Pick by needs
Scalability
Performance
Security
Functionality
Pick by support
Pick by knowledge
Stack overflow 2015 survey

14. Another diagram
Who do we believe???

15. Is that metric good???

16. Server Side and Us??
PhP – scripting, easy to learn?, not much configuration
Facebook in beginning days was only php, not anymore (issues in scalability, performance)
MEAN = MongoDB, Express, AngularJS and NodeJS
Scripting
MVC focused
To consider: Python, Java, Ruby on Rails, ….

17. Not LAMP –changing up M&P
Data solutions: (alternatives to M)
Alternative traditional databases – Oracle, etc.
NoSQL databases – example MongoDB
Distributed data and much moe
Interactivity (alternatives to P)
Client side like Javascript, AngularJS
Server side – Ruby on Rails, NodeJS and MEAN,

18. Other….cloud
Discussion of graduate class (6320)

19. Don’t worry….
Languages you learn here will translate to servers (mostly— though they choose language support for PaaS) in cloud
You can put LAMP or any servers on a Cloud (IaaS based or appropriate PaaS)
