XAMPP has a special place in my heart. It makes getting up and running with a web server on any platform a 5min affair. I still point people who want to teach themselves programming and might get discouraged with something with a high barrier of entry to PHP and XAMPP.
I know PHP gets no love on this site but getting that instant feed back from a "hello world" and a clear path forward to more complex programs goes a long way to keep true beginner coming back for more.
- rdudek 13y agoI love XAMPP and I use it extensively for testing on a local machine. I wish they could bundle it with Ruby on Rails.
- crimsonalucard 13y agoI've never used rails but don't those types of frameworks come with some sort of even more simplified dev server anyway?
