What?
Custom web applications that your users use to interact with to personalize and enhance their experience and your web presence. This can be from a custom Content Management System, or maybe you want to make information accessible to your customers or vendors. I will work with you to define the scope and overall deployment strategy for a custom web application.

LAMP Development
LAMP, an open source web platform refers to a set of tools: Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP (Perl or Python). It enables rapid development and deployment of enterprise scale applications. The tools have following functions:MySQL deals with data storage whereas PHP (Perl or Python) deals with business logic of the application. Linux provides robust server environment whereas Apache, the webserver, delivers the content. The advantages of LAMP are as follows:

  • Building applications in LAMP leads to Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as all sets of tools are open source.
  • The component set of tools have faster improvement chances as they are all open source
  • This platform is easy to use and reliable, and also provides greater flexibility.
  • There is no fear of vendor lock-in (and hence platform lock-in) as in case with commercial software.
  • Being an open source platform, LAMP offers dual license option (free and non-free). Hence, by buying the license fee, companies are allowed not to make source code availablet.

AJAX Development
Asynchronous Javascript and XML technology, or AJAX, takes advantage of your browser's built-in functionality. Using the power of an AJAX engine, we can eliminate the start and stop nature of typical Web interaction and build better Rich Internet Applications.

What this means is that instead of loading a Web page, the browser loads an AJAX engine that is written in JavaScript contained in a hidden frame. This engine is responsible for both producing the interface seen by you and communicating with the server as requested by you. The AJAX engine allows you to interact with the application asynchronously, meaning the interaction is independent of server communication. In other words, you never stare at a blank browser window and an hourglass icon, waiting for the server.
