A Very Modern Mobile Switching Algorithm - Part I- An important question that most web developers ask when developing their first mobile web site is "how do I distinguish between mobile users and desktop users?".

The Mobile Web is alive and well in Startup Land- dotMobi was at CrunchLudd last night and we got to talk to plenty of cool web startups from Dublin. I'm imagining there might have a similar event 12 years ago for print, media, graphic design and CD-ROM startups.

LAMP refers to a stack of software used to run a website or server. In LAMP, Apache is the web server, MySQL is the database and PHP is the programming language.
