Running XAMPP on a flash drive


My programmer Noel Macaraig discovered that you can run XAMPP on a flash drive. This is a great way for students (may be even professionals) to run and develop web applications even if you don't own a computer.

Just plug-in your flash drive and when you install XAMPP, just unzip to the flash drive. You may have to manually start and stop XAMPP from that directory.

For those who are not familar with XAMPP, it is a bundleof software package together to run web applications. It is an acronym for: X stands for different operating systems (X could stand for cross platform) Apache webserver, MySQL database, PHP and Perl scripting languages. It runs on Linux, Windows, Mac and Solaris.

Personnally I love XAMPP because its so easy to setup up and get your database and web application up and running quickly. I really used in alot of my projects.

You can learn about XAMPP by visiting their web site at http://www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html
