Client: mostly native Android currently, may put in a web interface eventually Server: Debian Linux, Apache, MySQL, mix of PHP and HTML. Some HTML and XML periodically generated by Perl scripts Hosting: Linode and Rackspace. Still have assets to migrate from Dreamhost and Bluehost. Server side was done as it was for two reasons. One, web hosting firms tend to push you toward PHP, or nowadays, also RoR. It was not easy to run a Tomcat instance on shared web hosting a few years ago, although the rise of VPS has been changing that. Secondly, I have been using LAMP for over 15 years and am familiar with it. Sometimes I think about Django or Tomcat or Racket, but there would be more of a learning curve with those.
