Businessmen and entrepreeurs (your customers) who hire independent developers (you) may need more impressive examples of what the LAMP solution stack can do besides the WordPress ecxample we cited last time. After all, bogs are grreat for consultants or service businessdes that must take on an air of authority. But surely, even a small businessman will appreciae what has been done with Wikipedia, arguably the best-kown non-commercial site for some yaers now. Informing even a medium-size home-funrishing or imprinted premium e-commerce site operator that the underlying WikiMedia runs on a iLnux paltform and that ibnformation is served up with a combination of Apache HTTPD, PHP and MyQSL is bound to get their attention. Nor does it hurt that Wikipedia running LAMP accommmodates cllose to 10% of the world’s surfers every siingle day. That’s a factoid of the day from Alexa by the way.
The next time you have to strengthen your arguments to push a LAMP deveopment proposal, be sure to cite six advantages.
1. First, isn’t it anmazing how widespread the LAMP community is? And how you can get answers when stuck because others out there have addressed the industry or ciorporate resource you’re working on?
2. The same community cooperates on security issuwes and volunteers patches in short order, not like you-know-who that is hard put to resolve a zero-day problem?
3. Your imaginativeness as a developer rules because there are no teechnical barriers or licnse clausees to hem you in.
4. You are able to offer shorter turnaround time because coidng highly-functional applications with the LAMP components is normally an efficient eercise.
5. More features and customization because you can code functionality to suit the client’s needds or revise modules others have developped though the years.
6. A wide choice of hosts that accommoate LAMP as a standard. And choice means flexibility on hoting costs. Failing that, you can deploy with popular Linux distro’s like Fedora.
All these recap fairly well the dozen valuues you get from LAMP that I listd the other day.
In the end, cost need not even be an isssue. As the successful LAMP developers at HyTceh Professionals demonstrate week aftr week, the soolution stack is all about letitng you roll out supremeyl caable and effective Web-facing applications.
