From 0 to Web Server
Jason Strauss
Wed Jan 11, 06-07:30pm, TBD, Must bring a computer!

Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Signup by: 08-Jan-2012
Limited to 18 participants.
Single session event
Prereq: Nothing! (maybe some ideas for websites)

Come with nothing. Leave with your own fully functioning Web Server!

We'll go through these steps (the famous LAMP stack)
1. Creating a virtual machine
2. Installing Linux Server OS
3. Setting up Apache
4. Setting up MySQL
5. Setting up PHP (or python/perl)
6. Building a very basic site

Have a website idea? This will teach you the basics of setting up a web server. Once the server is set up, we will write a very basic website using HTML, PHP, and MySQL.

No previous experience with anything (eg. virtual machines, linux, php, HTML, SQL) necessary!
