Hi there

so I have heard of Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Pearl/Python = WAMP

I have even heard of Linux, Apache, MySQL, PhP/Pearl/Pyton = LAMP

but what is the .NET Stack made up from?

Which is the best route to go down these day? Sure I appreciate it depends on the job, the developers skill sets and so many other things, just generally speaking what would you say if you have to choose 1 over the other, which one and why?

WAMP, LAMP or .NET stacks?

Thanks

.NET would be WISA I imagine:

Windows/IIS/SQL Server/ASP.NET

LAMP is the standard - WAMP is just the Windows based variation of it.

LAMP is probably the most commonly used stack anywhere.

Depends entirely what you're using it for I guess.

LAMP is probably the most common. I would guess WAMP came about as some ppl have a hard time with Linux, so prefer to develop on Windows. I would guess there's not too many production WAMP setups though.

.NET stack is great if you need/want it or if your devs only know .NET languages. ASP.NET MVC is very powerful, though I'm sure other frameworks have just as much going for them. IIS is a PITA though (at least I think so, coming from Apache).

For edgy coolness, Nginix (or self hosted) and NoSQL is where it's at!
