Currently I use a standard set of open source software tools to develop.

  • Apache is the heart of a website. Open source since it's inception, Apache is one of the leading web server applications in use today.
  • PHP is a scripting language that is both open source and available on virtually every platform.
  • CodeIgniter is a blazing fast PHP framework that allows you to rapidly develop and deploy applications. Be leveraging CodeIgniters abilities with those of native PHP you can write some awesome code in significantly less time then it would take to code from scratch. CodeIgniter is a Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework meaning that it separates the database (Model), frontend (view), and the logic (controller).
  • jQuery is a compact JavaScript library that is used by many major web sites including Google, Amazon, and IBM.
  • Blueprint is a CSS framework that helps standardize designs while remaining completely cross browser compatible.
  • MySQL is a open source product by Sun Microsystems now owned by Oracle. One of the leading database software products in use today.
  • MongoDB is a non-relational database with which we have had great success. Extremely flexible and powerful, Mongo is a great choice for systems that need flexibility and high scalability.
