Now, I've taken some time off from work to focus solely on getting this class done, and one of the first things I did? Download an AMPPS program for my little macbook pro. What's an AMPPS program you ask? Why only the easiest way to set up everything you need for a homegrown online database. Here's the tagline from ampps.com:
AMPPS is a WAMP, MAMP and LAMP stack of Apache, MySQL, MongoDB, PHP, Perl & Python.
AMPPS enables you to focus more on using applications rather than maintaining them.
With AMPPS you can create a website by installing any of the 377 Apps, customizing it, and then simply publishing it on the internet via a wide choice of hosting service providers.
