Steve Mitchell’s Summary

Steve Mitchell is the owner of, Byteworks, Inc (http://www.ByteworksInc.com). Steve's specialty is building secure, dynamic web sites that typically provide process automation or user self-service. Steve prefers open-source platforms over expensive commercial platforms.

“Many of my past clients/employers used commercial databases (e.g. Oracle), commercial application servers (e.g. WebSphere) and commercial operating systems (e.g. AIX). In my opinion, commercial software does not offer a good ROI. Open source software frees-up money to invest in custom solutions that help a company do its business rather than paying commercial software license fees that are just fixed expenses. For those wanting added protection, support contracts from open source companies, like MySQL or RedHat, are less expensive than software maintenance fees for traditional commercial software. My favorite software stack is built on the Linux operating system, running MySQL or PostgreSQL database software, the Apache web server, and the Tomcat or JBoss Java application server."
