Welcome to yuonlamp.com, a web site dedicated to software development with Linux, MySQL, PHP, Perl, Python (LAMP) and some other open source software packages.

These open source software packages are free in two senses. One is in the sense that you don't need to buy them to use them. However, it doesn't mean that it won't incur any cost to you when using them. For example, you may still have to spend money on training, getting professional services and etc. Besides your time is also money. :) Given that we have been working with Unix/Linux systems for 10+ years and enjoy the environment much more than the others, we hope that you will also enjoy the same as your experiences grow with using them.

The other is in the sense is that you have the freedom to play with and modify them to your heart's content. Because the source code for these packages is readily available, you don't have to do any reverse engineering to understand how it works. This can save you a lot of time and trouble. Even though you may not necessarily modify the code by yourself, people who help you will be much more effective and efficient when they have ready access to the source code.

At this web site, we publish various articles to help users of these software packages. We stress hands-on experience and would suggest you play with your local machine as you follow these articles. You will gain valuable experiences and deepen your knowledge.

We hope you will find yuonlamp.com useful. Please redirect all your comments and suggestions to yuonlamp@yahoo.com. Thank you. :)
