The Cogs behind the Machine
I was asked earlier about what platform we are using to develop SixCentral while discussing the development: “What are you using to build it and on what system?” I figured I would write a quick post to talk a little about the technology that will be driving the application.
I am a huge fan of LAMP (Linux Apache Mysql Python). So the operating system we are hosting on is Ubuntu Linux, running Apache version 2.2.11 with mod_python and Mysql 5.0 for the database. To develop our Python Web app we are using the Django framework.
The development platform choice was a no brainer as all of our choices were based off documentation, history, community and most importantly, what makes this even more fun to build.
If you have any questions about development and/or platform, feel free to drop us a line and I will be more than excited (because I’m a nerd) to talk about it.
