LAMP Stack Foundations (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python) covers topics few developers have opportunity to master. It is a critical learning track for anyone interested in software development or migrating code and apps from a laptop to a live web server for the world to see.
Meet your teachers and learn more about this course by attending our upcoming Test Drive.
Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Maximum Class Size: 5 students to every 1 teacher
Learning Objectives
At the end of this course you will know how to quickly build, secure, deploy, and maintain enterprise-grade Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP server stacks. You will also master critical command line directives, DNS configuration options as well as native and 3rd party mail server deployments. A single LAMP server instance can theoretically host an unlimited number of web sites — server memory (i.e., cost) is the primary limiting factor.
