I have been using this for a long time now and just realized that I have not even mentioned it on Solution Watch yet, XAMPP. XAMPP is an excellent method to install Apache, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, etc. Since the moment I installed the package, I have not had any issues and have had easy developing on my computer ever since.

Many people know from their own experience that it’s not easy to install an Apache web server and it gets harder if you want to add MySQL, PHP and Perl.

XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start.

XAMPP is available for Windows, Linux, Macintosh OS X, and Solaris. Also, just to note, it gives you the option to switch to PHP 4 of PHP 5 anytime you want by the click of a button. You can even get addons on top of everything they give you already! Such addons are: Perl, Python, Tomcat, and Cacoon.

Just a quick note that Virb, a new social network that’s got me excited, has launched today. I was accepted into the private beta a couple months ago and its really come a long way. It’s beautifully designed, has great iTunes integration, and has got a little bit of everything in there. Perhaps what I like most is how customizable the profiles are. Be sure to check it out!

swfIR is a new Flash replacement technique that replaces and adds visual effects to images on the fly using simple JavaScript. It’s similar to the the popular Flash text replacement technique, sIFR. You can, without physically editing an image, set borders, shadows, alpha transparencies, blurring, rotation and more to any image on your website. Pretty neat! (via Mike Davidson)
