Abstract

LAMP is the widely used open source Web development stack for building dynamic Web sites. In this paper, we discuss PAMP (Personal AMP), which is a port of the stack to the Symbian/S60 mobile phone platform. We illustrate the possibilities of PAMP with a couple of examples, share our experiences in bringing the stack to resource-constrained devices, and discuss the lessons learned. The existence of the dominant development environment on handheld devices allows easier development of mobile services with familiar high-level tools. Moreover, it enables reuse of existing solutions like content management systems and integration with other Web services such as Facebook.
