Base Technologies That Deliver

At Big Ring we build our software on top of proven Open Source web technology. The three base components of almost every Big Ring project are among the most widely used and tested on the web: PHP and MySQL running on Apache Server.

PHP

PHP stands for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor. One of the most popular and powerful scripting languages for web development, PHP is used to produce dynamic web pages. Think of PHP like the components on a bike. They make the application go (the drivetrain) and enable user interaction (the brakes, shifters and pedals). 

MySQL

MySQL is a relational database management system. It’s where your data is stored. Think of MySQL as the frame of the bike. In data-driven systems, it’s the backbone of the system. Everything is tied to it. 

Apache

Apache is the Internet’s leading web server software: the software that enables computers to serve up web pages and run the programs that gather dynamic content for those pages. Think of Apache like the wheels on a bike. It’s what it all rides on.
