MAMP is nifty stuff
By Sparky | December 3, 2005
Even better! So I had been working with the default Apache install on my powerbook, and had installed MySQL, and PHPmyAdmin for my development environment. I had been somewhat at a loss for other tools (aside from trusty TextWrangler) until today when a reader turned me on to MAMP. It’s a simple install, and provides a great separate development environment for my PHP stuff while leaving “production” code for the default Apache install. It makes it even easier to play around with stuff, and comes with a ton of documentation and optimization extensions.
MAMP installs everything I had and more, while keeping everything (including the separate applications and the wwwroot) in it’s install folder making it easy to blow away the databases and development environment if you have to.
Getting back into development sure has been interesting so far. It’s been years since I’ve picked up something in earnest and I’m quite pleased with how quickly PHP is coming back to me.
