Not MS!

Ok, so not a programming question; rather a what stack question. I am curious about trying out a non-Microsoft web stack - say, Linux (which flavor?), MySQL (best choice?) and then what? I don't want to go php (been there, done that) so looking for something new and hip and cool. So, to change to an open source stack, what are the recommendations? (Not looking for a my stack is better than your stack debate, just trying to get a feel for where to start). Final part is my idea would involve heavy use of AI - what is a good open source implementation? Thanks.

While I am a big fan of Python, I am not so fond of the Ruby on Rails wannabe Django. If you want to really get into the web modern stack, go Node.js on the server and pick your front end flavor (angular, vue, react, aurelia...). Take it a step further and leave your sql behind for a nosql document database (mongodb, mariadb, couchdb...). Visual studio Code works great with most of the web development frameworks. Forgot to mention, just use whatever Linux distro that interests you, but if you're not a Linux guru, stick with one of the Ubuntu variants, Debian, or Fedora because there is a lot of support out there on the web...definitely don't choose Arch Linux if you are not an expert.
I was also going to suggest Node :D

I highly recommend PostgreSQL instead of MySQL. The stored proc code is object oriented. The whole thing is very logical. The only thing good about MySQL is that it is a little more available on web hosting services.

I’ve been a fan of Ubuntu[^] for a few years now. It’s got good support and is solid enough for everything I’ve needed so far. As for Database… • MS SQL[^] is just amazing. • MySQL[^] is adequate for most needs. • SQLite[^] is very small and portable. • PostgreSQL[^] has tons of cool add-on features. As for Languages… • I’m all-in for .NET Core[^] & Standard. Nothing else matters. • But if I ever leave .NET, I’ll probably go for C++. I hear it’s not the C++ I knew in the 90s.

If you're "not into MS", then it's (usually) the "LAMP" stack: Linux; Apache (web server); MySql; PHP. Since you are not into PHP, you will need to find another language that starts with "P". Me, instead of the "woodman's" approach, will stick with MS and electric power tools. [AI platform - Microsoft AI](https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/ai/ai-platform)

Oh I am most certainly an MS-fanbois - have been since day one! I just feel like trying something new and different; you know, to spice codey things up a bit. :-)

I recommend going toward Node.JS. It's fast and efficient and it's got a lot of good libraries and frameworks to support it. If you are comfortable with NoSQL databases, I'd recommend using MongoDB as your back end database. If you are more of a SQL guy, I'd recommend MySql. As far as AI goes, if you go with Node, you can use Tensor Flow!

I was going to suggest Python, and that clinched it -- there is a LOT of great stuff out there using Python and AI engines (mostly implemented in C, Python ends up being a wrapper, but still a lot of good stuff -- videos, training guides, Jupyter docs, etc.) So take a look at Python and Django. It's easy enough to set up.

Hmm. But is Django unchained? :)
