No PHP or MySQL!

By Matthew on January 11, 2009 6:13 PM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

I'm proud to say that this blog does not run PHP or MySQL!

PHP is the most prevalent web programming language thanks its ease of installation and popularity among web designers. MySQL is the most common open source database management system (on web sites, at least). Both are horrid pieces of software haphazardly thrown together. I'll surely rant about them later.

This blog is powered by Apache, Perl, PostgreSQL, and Movable Type with a little help from mod_include, all running on Ubuntu. (Alas, the FreeBSD VPS hosts were not as appealing.) I may be stuck using PHP and MySQL at work, but at least I can liberate myself at home!
