Businessmen and entrepreneurs (your customers) who hire independent developers (you) may need more impressive examples of what the LAMP solution stack can do besides the WordPress example we cited last time.  After all, blogs are great for consultants or service businesses that must take on an air of authority.  But surely, even a small businessman will appreciate what has been done with Wikipedia, arguably the best-known non-commercial site for some years now.  Informing even a medium-size home-furnishing or imprinted premium e-commerce site operator that the underlying WikiMedia runs on a Linux platform and that information is served up with a combination of Apache HTTPD, PHP and MySQL is bound to get their attention.  Nor does it hurt that Wikipedia running LAMP accommodates close to 10% of the world’s surfers every single 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 development proposal, be sure to cite six advantages.

First, isn’t it amazing how widespread the LAMP community is?  And how you can get answers when stuck because others out there have addressed the industry or corporate resource you’re working on? The same community cooperates on security issues and volunteers patches in short order, not like you-know-who that is hard put to resolve a zero-day problem? Your imaginativeness as a developer rules because there are no technical barriers or license clauses to hem you in. You are able to offer shorter turnaround time because coding highly-functional applications with the LAMP components is normally an efficient exercise. More features and customization because you can code functionality to suit the client’s needs or revise modules others have developed through the years. Failing that, you can deploy with popular Linux distro’s like Fedora.

All these recap fairly well the dozen values you get from LAMP that I listed the other day.

In the end, cost need not even be an issue.  As the successful LAMP developers at HyTech Professionals (www.hytechpro.com) demonstrate week after week, the solution stack is all about letting you roll out supremely capable and effective Web-facing applications.
