What is NYPHP? |
| |
| |
Emerging as a powerful collection of skill, NYPHP seeks to illuminate New York's
vast eDevelopment environment. The metropolitan area is easily the greatest
commercial landscape in the world and a perfect niche for energetic and skilled
developers. With the power of AMP Technology (Apache/MySQL/PHP) and the
opportunity and tenacity of New York, NYPHP is a leading force in the commitment
to extend Web functionality and ease local administration.
Simply, NYPHP is a gathering of knowledge, skill and vision with the commonality
of PHP and associated technologies.

What is the purpose? |
| |
| |
|
NYPHP is a nonprofit organization, loosely resembling the familiar
Linux User Group.
Our primary purpose is to share and learn amongst
ourselves. Additionally, however, NYPHP looks to cooperate with
external entities. While NYPHP requires no membership dues and
does not have any monetary value, businesses are encouraged to
use it as a rich information and development resource.
In the future, NYPHP will actively develop Open Source projects
and a knowledge base of code, articles and tutorials. |

What is PHP? |
| |
| |
|
The PHP Hypertext Preprocessor, or simply PHP, is a
"widely-used general-purpose scripting language," designed with
the Internet in mind. Commonly implemented to manipulate
databases and dynamic content on the server, PHP is also an
indispensable local scripting tool. Delivering high performance,
intuitive syntax, powerful structure and a rich feature set, PHP
puts ideas into action, both locally and on the Internet.

How does AMP Technology differ from LAMP? |
| |
| |
|
The acronym "LAMP"
refers to a suite of technologies:
Linux, Apache, MySQL, and either PHP, Python or Perl. Extending this,
NYPHP is primarily AMP (Apache/MySQL/PHP) based, which
doesn't make assumptions about the operating system and clears
language ambiguity. At the same time, however, our membership
is fluent and diverse, with many different language, OS and architecture
backgrounds. In New York, variation is not only welcomed, but
encouraged, allowing for new interactions, techniques and inevitably,
innovation. We are not opposed to differing operating systems,
web servers or databases, ranging from commercial to "free."
Task suitability and quality are paramount. |

However, active contribution and involvement is encouraged, empowering
NYPHP to be a rich environment for education and development. Join us
for meetings and IRC discussion (#NYPHP
