[Year 12 SofDev] Xampp and its various add-on modules for teaching

[Tony Richardson]

Thanks Kevork.

I have been using XAMPP for many years to teach PHP coding. It's a great package although a recent update for Win10 now seems to have hijacked port 80 so have to configure localhost now to port 8080 (or similar).

Haven't tried installing the add-ons such as Joomla, WordPress etc through Bitnami. Have done it manually in the past. Looks to be a more seamless process.

Hi Folks

     I am hoping you are all doing well ahead of our staggered return to regular classes next week.
I have been using XAMPP for some time and have been impressed with the increased versatility of its new add on modules.
For the uninitiated xampp can run on Windows/Linux/Mac.

It has several services such as http, https, MySQL, PHPMyAdmin etc.

It also allows for the installation and configuration of over a dozen add-on packages ( Not for Mac it seems ).
So  you want to teach Web programming, Networking, WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Moodle, OpenCart for online shopping etc etc . Easy .

The beauty is any of these features can be installed in several minutes on  a student device and you are ready to go.
It can be used from Yr 7 to Yr 12 and focus on the teaching of impressive technologies.
