Hey guys, before I start my programming tutorials, I want to recommend some software that is good for software development:
Free Software:
To follow along with the tutorials you will need the following software:
Web Server - Wamp for windows, Lamp For Linux / Mac (FREE)
How To Install Wamp
How To Install Xampp - Windows
Xampp Downloads
When installing these, remember where you installed them, as you need to know to be able to put your web pages in.
For wamp it is usually C:\wamp\www or C:\wamp64\www
For Xampp, it is usually C:\xampp\htdocs\
Now, to write your code in, you will need a text editor.
Strictly speaking, notepad would do, but I would recommend Notepad++ or PhpStorm
Download Notepad++ - Free
Download PHPStorm (Requires Licence. See Below)
Licencing for PHPStorm / Any other IDEA Products:
When you get to the licence page, click the license server button and enter either:
http://xidea.online <- No trailing slash
or
http://jetbrains.license.laucyun.com <- Again, No trailing slash!
PLEASE NOTE: These are not my licence servers but are for anyone to use, I myself have used them to activate my IDEA software and it works fine. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES/THE SERVER GOING .etc.
Also, they will only activate the products that they say they will, usually only in the IDEA family.
MAKE SURE NOT TO LEAVE A TRAILING SLASH EITHER
THIS IS COMPLETELY FREE & LEGAL, as the licence server has VALID licences for these products, so do not worry, also the downloads are from the official site, so there is no risk of getting a virus
Downloads for all other IDEA Products:
I will publish my first tutorial hopefully tomorrow. PHPStorm is quite a big download but works extremely well, and so I would recommendd it over Notepad++, but both will work fine.
Happy late licencing christmas :)
