Why WampServer is the perfect solution for newbie developers?
WampServer is a wonderful solution not only for newbie and not-experienced web developers but for those who are experts but are working in small medium sized projects. The use of WampServer is basically for those PHP programmers who are interested in develop high efficient solutions but are starting their life as web developers. I think it is the best solutions for beginners because when you are an experienced PHP developer who works with MySQL Server and Apache Web Server there are too many technical requirements that in your first experiences you won’t have the ability to handle. But if you have at hand all the tools that professionals are using simplified you will start using only those features and element you need and also will feel more comfortable in your developing experience. In first place, I would like to tell you that WampServer contains Apache Web Server as the main server solution and you can install this application very easy. You only have to download it from its official website and in just few seconds (With DSL connection) you will have the installer ready to click in your personal computer. The next step is the installation that is a very straightforward process and finally you can start the application.
Once you have WampServer installed in your personal computer you will notice that in the C:\ directory you will have a new folder created which is named “wamp”. In this new folder which is created immediately the program is installed in your computer you will see a folder named “www” where you should create folders that will receive the name of the project. For instance, if you write a project named “DEMO” all the files of your web project should be located in this folder. If you don’t save your PHP files in this folder you won’t see any results. The Apache Server through this application is specially designed so that this folder works as the host location. You can configure WampServer in order it can automatically start once your system starts.
The rest of the elements of WampServer are based on MySQL Sever which can be administrated when you start the WampServer application and you move to the host and there you will have a homepage that will guide you in this process. You can configure all the things you want. If you can understand how this work you will see that in the MySQL Sever page how add new databases and modify the databases you want include in your web projects. Also, you will be able to import small MySQL databases. If you have large MySQL databases which were created in other system is not recommended used WampServer. WampServer is basically created for those web projects that are small and don’t require large database requirements. The most important thing is that you can try this stable solution that in my opinion is a very good thing because most newbie developers sometimes feel frustrated due complications installing these tools one by one.
