Developing Internet Business Applications with Linux

The power of Linux is that it is not only a highly stable platform for computing, but it can also be quite cost effective for use in small to medium sized businesses. What these companies often lack, however, is a dedicated applications developer or the tools to make these technologies easier to use. Featuring Red Hat Linux, this book shows practical examples and case studies of developing business applications with the Linux OS. It provides readers with clear information about how Linus works in a business environment, compares Linux to Microsoft applications, and explains how to connect internal data to the World Wide Web in a secure manner.
