LAMP isn't a very good example of a layered software system as the AMP are all co-planar.

a) Please sign your comments.
b) If you're not going to write your comments in English than I suggest you post your comments to the Jargon version of Wikipdia...oh wait, there isn't one of those. <grin>
c) Can someone please translate "co-planar" to an understandable form; pretty please.

I imagine that by co-planar, the author of the comment above meant that these software "layers" aren't layered as such, in the sense that each exists "within" the next one. I'd disagree with respect to PHP running inside Apache, though (details like external fcgi processes aside).

I think the "stack" aspect refers more to conceptually visualising which software makes use of which products (which looks more like a dependency graph, to me). In other words, "stack" as used here does not mean literally running inside each layer.

Incidentally, the article says "a solution stack is a set of software subsystems". A stack (in the data structure sense) isn't a set; sets are unordered. This might be worth clarifying. Kate (talk) 15:37, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The OP posted from Microsoft IP space. I don't know what they meant by "co-planar" in this content, as except possibly for LYME, the "AMP" aren't "co-planar" by any useful meaning I can construct for it. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Better naming?

Any thoughts on better naming?

This article lists some broad options for low-level platforms (not even frameworks) from which to build dynamic web apps. "Solution stack" doesn't convey the web-app nature of this at all.

They are:

  • Web-based
  • Stacks, with ordered layers.
  • Ways of building "web applications", which is somewhat narrower than "solutions"

They're not:

  • Open source (all of them, or every layer)
  • Frameworks (in the additional sense that Ruby on Rails, CherryPy etc. are)

"List of ..." is also a possibility, according to local conventions (or is there too much detail for a mere list?)
"Comparison of ..." ?
