We specialise in developing applications using MySQL and PHP. Both of these are Open Source, meaning lower cost of ownership, greater reliability and a strong user base. Both MySQL and PHP are the most commonly used technologies used on the internet across the globe!

MySQL Relational Database

The MySQL database has become the world’s most popular open source database because of its consistent fast performance, high reliability and ease of use. It’s used on every continent — Yes, even Antarctica! — by individual Web developers as well as many of the world’s largest and fastest-growing organizations to save time and money powering their high-volume Web sites, business-critical systems and packaged software — including industry leaders such as Yahoo!, Alcatel-Lucent, Google, Nokia, YouTube, and Zappos.com.

Not only is MySQL the world’s most popular open source database, it’s also become the database of choice for a new generation of applications built on the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP / Perl / Python.) MySQL runs on more than 20 platforms including Linux, Windows, OS/X, HP-UX, AIX, Netware, giving you the kind of flexibility that puts you in control.

The MySQL database consistently scores among the top for performance, throughput and scalability. So it’s no surprise that MySQL is used for some of the most demanding, high volume, business-critical applications at companies like Associated Press, Cox Communications, Google, Lufthansa, MIT Lincoln Labs, NASA, Sabre Holdings, Yahoo and others. Companies have implemented large “scale out” web and data warehouse applications running MySQL on dozens, hundreds and even thousands of commodity Intel and Opteron servers saving millions of dollars in the process. MySQL scales to deal with billions of rows and terabytes of data making it suitable for a wide range of transactional and analytic applications.

PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor

PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. It is the most commonly used internet programming language and as such is one of the most stable and secure platforms.
