Acronym Jive
Sun's Tim Bray has fun with developer-related acronyms. |
Sun Microsystems' Tim Bray has a fun little post talking about acronym jive out there in LAMP land and beyond. Bray takes the LAMP acronym and moves from there into a list of other possibilities.
"Let's assume that 'L' always stands for Linux, 'A' for Apache, 'M' for MySQL, and 'P' for PHP (or Perl or Python)," Bray said. He then listed others and invited folks to join in.
Bray's list included:
SAMP Solaris
MARS Rails, Solaris
MAPS Solaris
SPAM Solaris
WIMP Windows, IIS
DAMN DirectX, ActiveX, .NET
WIMN Windows, IIS, .NET (pronounced "women")
SIN SQL Server, IIS, .NET
Commenters to Bray's post came up with several others, veering off of the LAMP theme. I'll veer even further and offer a few:
JIVE -- Java, Internet, Virtualization, Enterprise
HOOD -- HTML, Object-Oriented, Django
OBAMA -- Oracle, BEA, Apache, Mylyn, Aspect-oriented
MOOLA -- Microsoft Opens Office to Linux and Apache
SLAP -- Spring, Linux, Apache, PHP
MESH -- Microsoft Enterprise Sync Heaven (as opposed to DLL Hell)
Care to join in?

Linux Apache Ruby Rails Yaws = LARRY
MySql Open Enterprise - MOE
Catalyst Updated RedHat Linux Yaws - CURLY
Then, to piggyback on one above:
Sync Heaven Enterprise Management Protocol = SHEMP
Then, kinda sorta on topic.
Computer Hakcers Unified Management Protocol = CHUMP
