Hi All:

The LAMP stack has been around for years, since the mid-nineties but it has been updated a number of times. Now a days Linux or Windows OS is assumed, Apache is a continual standard, the databases can be a variety of options, MySQL, MariaDB or MongoDB and programming languages could be PHP, Perl, or Python though Perl's appeal is fading rapidly.

There is a new stack called MEAN, which is comprised of MongoDB, (the fifth most used database in the world and the only post relational database in the top ten), Express, (I have never heard of but those in the business probably know it well) is a web application framework that incorporates Node, AngularJS, Google's new and very popular JavaScript framework (which also incorporates JQuery) and of course NodeJS, the super fast JavaScript event server.

Limitations are of course 64 bit hardware and sorry no Windows version as of yet...but quite possibly within six months. 

Jim
