Web Enterprise Development
-
PHP
- A powerful programming language for developing enterprise web
applications. Many possibilities here, including database server
connectivity. Best of all, it's free!
-
MySQL
- A great database application. You can create your own relational
database, then use PHP to build apps to insert and retrieve data.
-
Apache
- A must-have web server for enterprise development. Another freebie.
-
Linux
- You may or may not have already heard about Linux. If you haven't,
then you likely will soon. It's an operating system, like Windows is an
operating system. But the two are a bit different from each other. The
big advantage of Linux is that the core kernel is free (compare that to
Windows). Because of this, it is gaining in popularity throughout the
world.
Science
-
Perkins Observatory
Delaware Ohio
-
Big Ear
- A SETI and universe-mapping radio obervatory designed and built by
the late Dr. John Kraus. This was the observatory that detected the
"WOW" signal in 1977 which was widely thought to be created by an
intelligent extraterrestrial source. Unfortunately, the Big Ear is no
longer around. It was bulldozed in the late 1990s to make way for a
golf course and housing development. It's too bad, because the Big Ear
was one-of-a-kind, unlike the golf course and subdivision that replaced
it. I was fortunate enough to see Big Ear a few times, including one
last time before it was torn down. I have the pleasure of owning Dr.
John Krauss' book Big Ear Two, which I have read a few times, as it is
a very interesting book. This is a good web site and I'm quite glad
(and pleasantly surprised) that it is still operating, even though Big
Ear is long gone.
