TechNet Webcast: Windows Compare (Part 6 of 6): Open Source on Windows (Level 200)

Tags:
application servers

Overview This webcast looks at how Windows is the only operating system that can not only run the Microsoft solutions stack of Microsoft SQL Server, Internet Information Services (IIS), and the Microsoft .NET Framework, but also can run the equivalent Open Source stack of Apache, MySQL, and PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP). It looks at the Open Source stack and discusses what is required to run these products, explain how to install them, and examine how to configure them in a Windows-based environment compared to a Linux environment.
