Speaking of server technologies: have you ever wondered what programming languages go with what server types? Confused when techies start talking about "API's" and bandwidth? Here's a quick chart to let you in on the fundamentals of API's and the platforms they run on.
 
 

Language/API	Server Platform
PHP ("Hypertext Preprocessor")	Apache   Apache is usually run on the Linux operating system for its stability and security. PHP is generally coupled with MySQL to create unique, customized database web solutions, but can also be linked with other database systems as well.
ASP ("Active Server Pages")	Windows Server 2003   Unlike Apache on Linux, Windows acts as both the web server and the operating system. Less stable and less secure than Linux, Windows servers comprise about 30% of the Internet's hosting. ASP can also interface with MSSQL and MySQL to create many of the same custom web applications as PHP.
CGI ("Common Gateway Interface")	Platform Independent   CGI is platform-independent, which means it will run on both Windows and Linux. It can be used in much the same way as the other languages, to develop statistical reports, web traffic analysis, polls, ecommerce sites and more. CGI files are usually, but not always, denoted by the ".cgi" extension.
Perl ("Practical Extraction and Reporting Language")	Platform Independent   Also platform independent, Perl can interface with database systems like the other languages and is very good at manipulating strings.
MySQL("My Structured Query Language")	Linux with PHP, but modules exist for ASP and other languages too   A free, open-source database solution that's fast, reliable and is favored by most web developers. MySQL is used in Hollywood to keep track of information for large animation projects, and dovetails nicely with PHP, Perl and even ASP as a solid database solution.
MSSQL ("MicroSoft Structured Query Language")	Windows with ASP, but modules exist for other languages as well   Microsoft's closed-source database language, usually used with ASP. The language is not free and requires a license from Microsoft.
PGSQL ("PostGreSQL", commonly pronounced "Postgres")	Platform Independent   A free, open-source relational database system having many features of modern commercial database systems. It runs on almost any platform.
ColdFusion	Linux and Windows   ColdFusion was developed by Macromedia and is part of its Studio MX suite of web design tools. It gives a simple interface for developing database-driven web content. More information can be found at http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/.
