WampServer

I've been using ASP and .net now for a while. I've always wanted to try the Apache, MySql and PHP route. Every time I tried to set it up I became frustrated and gave-up.

Well I'm here to say there is help. I took my 5 year old dusty notebook with XP Home on it and down loaded this little gem wampserver
I'm now happily learning PHP and MYSql with phpadmin and it all works not a problem.

Oddly enough my old notebook pushes along nicely.
