Penning down my experiences so far.

Its been almost 4 months since I started my new journey and its been the time of my life. Lots of learning, ups, downs, changes and all. So I decided that I should pen down my experiences with technology, entrepreneurship mainly for my own use. Will be happy if it helps someone.

So about the stuff I’m going to talk about: Mainly about the technologies and tools I have been using to develop PPPrep.

Operating System: Windows 7 for Dev and Ubuntu 10.04/10.10 for Production( I still do not have test and staging servers)

Technology stack: XAMPP for development and LAMP stack in production.

IDE: Netbeans.

Version Control System: Mercurial (Mainly because its available by default in Netbeans)

Hosting: Amazon AWS, EC2, S3, EBS, CloudFront etc etc. I’m an illiterate in Cloud Computing but I’m learning to deploy my code into AWS considering it a VPS. Probably I will learn more about the power of cloud computing and slowly start harnessing the power it promises to deliver.

Content Management System: Drupal 7

I’m also trying to understand other niceties like Memcache, Varnish, CDN, lucene for search, flash for upload & streaming of videos, WYSIWYG editors like Tinymce, etc.. I will add to the list as and when I find new stuff I start to use.

That is all I can remember now. Hope this serves as a wiki for myself about the stuff I will need to do again and again
