Lab 4: Using XAMMP for Local WordPress Theme Development
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to install and configure XAMPP for the desktop.
Once that’s out of the way, we’ll install WordPress so that you can have your very own professional,
light-weight PHP and WordPress development environment.
You will also install a free WordPress Theme Chamelon available at http://alkivia.org/chameleon/ or at Lab Activities->Lab 4 folder at opencommittee.com.
To sum it up in one sentence: XAMPP, which stands for Cross-Platform (X) Apache, MySQL, PHP and Perl, is a popular, free and open source web server package that you can use to install a web server onto your desktop. XAMPP allows you to develop PHP and Perl-based server-side scripting applications without the need for a remote web server, offering you the opportunity to work faster, develop stuff more securely, and work on your apps without an internet connection.
