 The software that currently runs Wikipedia could be characterized as a LAMP application. Wikipedia's MediaWiki software is developed primarily under Linux, using the Apache HTTP Server, with its content being stored in a MySQL database, and the program logic being implemented in PHP. We shall be examining several others in this lecture.
-We shall be installing and using [[htp://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html|XAMPP]] in this module.
+We shall be installing and using a virtual machine installation of [[http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/|Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server (Precise Pangolin)]] in this module. See http://github.com/cpjobling/eg-259-vm.

 ===== Google Apps =====
 Once just a search engine with a very simple user interface, Google has developed into a whole platform of services which can be accessed on line.
-  * They are mostly written as server-side code (written in Java using techniques familiar to Swing Programmers) which is compiled into  JavaScript, HTML and CSS and sent to the client.
+  * Mutiple SaaS services -- GMail, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Sites, ...
-  * The [[http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/|Google Web Toolkit (GWT)]] is the web development framework that has been used to create much of Google's portfolio of web apps.
+  * Google Web Toolkit -- Build rich web UIs in Java compiled to JavaScript
-  * Data services are provided by Google's own [[wp>BigTable|Big Table]] distributed database infrastructure.
+  * Dart - a new language for web applications development
-  * We will explore some of the apps and how they appear in the client during the session.
+  * Google App Engine -- Google's PaaS offering: code in Java or Python, run on Google
-  * Visit [[http://google.co.uk|Google]] now and explore the apps that you find with your browser's developer tools.
+  * Google App Scripts -- Script google applications with JavaScript
+  * Google Compute Engine -- Google's IaaS offering
