News from the O'Reilly Network:
February 1, 2001
ONLAMP.COM OFFERS SOLUTIONS FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE WEB DEVELOPMENT New
Site Promotes Optimized, Integrated Use of Linux, Apache, MySQL and
Scripting Languages.
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.
