PAMP: Personal Apache MySQL PHP- Those of us familiar with dynamic web programming have most likely heard the term LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP). LAMP refers to a stack of software used to run a website or server. In LAMP, Apache is the web server, MySQL is the database and PHP is the programming language.

Programmers must deal with a wide variety of device capabilities, an heterogeneous mix of software versions and different adherence to standards.
