Hey Everyone, It was a pleasure meeting many of you yesterday and coming to my first PLUG meeting. I got the feeling that many of you were able to take away something from our discussion on Drupal and for those who are further interested, I'll be giving another talk tomorrow.
We'll cover web applications from a few different angles, starting with what they are and how they are commonly used; this will be a kind of quick behind the scenes look as well a tour of common use cases. Then we'll look deeper into building them using two frameworks, Drupal and Django. This will help those of you who are interested in starting new projects and are not yet familiar with some of the available tools. Next, we'll look closer at the different projects you can use to assemble your full stack. These are the underlying components of web applications; the most common configuration is called LAMP: Linux Apache MySQL and PHP. However we'll also cover alternative web servers, database engines, and scripting languages, notably: nginx, SQLite, and Python. Finally, we'll get some hands on experience with modular development and middleware to see how web applications can be used in all types of environments. This demonstration will illustrate the power of effective and efficient web application programming and how any environment can benefit. I look forward to seeing many of you again and meeting new people too. Prof. Harshad Gune organized this event, and if you have questions or ideas on how this talk can be further extended, we can discuss and plan them in this thread or at the live event.
