Web site disasters made easy

09.08.2006
In 1997, I was working at a midsize consumer products company in

northern California. The company had no web presence, but as our

competitors ate more and more of our lunch, it gradually dawned on

management that we ought to be selling online. So I built a LAMP (Linux,

Apache, Perl/Python/PHP) sales portal that handled online ordering and

a corporate website. It generated revenue from the outset.
