This is the best way to setup local web development environment on Windows!
What do you like best about the product?
I have used XAMPP primarily for local web development. It provides an ideal environment in our local system to create and test software. The combination mentioned above is really all we need to quickly develop applications - Apache web server to host, MySQL and PhpMyadmin to manage the database
What do you dislike about the product?
The main disadvantage of this setup is its primarily designed for Windows which creates inefficiencies when using with Linux and Mac. I use Mac to develop complex applications and I have observed its performance to be subpar as compared to Windows. One more issue I faced while using this is the amount of manual updates we need to do to keep the software up to date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
XAMPP helped me to quickly develop prototype of my software development project and showcase it to my superiors. The free and open source software platform helps in minimizing costs related to setup an actual environement for web development.
