I’ve just recently converted from Xampp server to Wampserver 2c, I’m actually loving the experience. I can use different versions of PHP,Apache and Mysql with a click and its very fast when changing versions for testing. I have to admit wampserver 2 is good. One thing I had a hard time with was going from Xampp to Wampserver and I think I’m going to write an article on how to make sure you connect your wamp server smoothly. Xampp wasn’t bad at all, but Wampserver seems more flexible when it comes to development. Xampp is more for people who like doing stuff in a slow matter, when Wamp is more a do it quick, switch type of Windows Apache Mysql and PHP server.  One last thing I like about wamp, is the quick support, there are more answers to already asked questions making it even easier to find information.  It’s great.

If you’ve had any experiences with Xampp, please let me know.

Step Two: Taking Your Ideas off Paper

When one works on a project it’s either unorganized or badly planned, not always because some people plan there projects ahead of time :). This can and will hurt the programmers because when someone develops a project and its not even planned out correctly, then they will lose time off their project.

Projects Need to be Like Recipe’s.

What is organization? Organization is basically putting something in a orderly fashion. In other words, To Organize or Keep Clean.

There comes a time when anyone, maybe you or me, will want to create a fantastic project. You might have a few ideas and the concept of the project, but you don’t know exactly where its going or what is going on because you didn’t plan or organize that project.

Why Humans Plan Stuff?

We plan things because we want things to be perfect, even though no one is perfect we want things to be as perfect as they can get regardless of the flaws or what we have to do to get to that stage. For example take Microsoft and Windows Vista. They wanted to be perfect yet they released to early and has the most bugs, thats why I stick with windows xp :).

Why do I plan things?

Great question, I plan things because I hate being in the position where I have a feeling I won’t finish the project it self. It’s bad practice to make up ideas as you code because anyone can do that. Doesn’t mean you’ll come out a success, then again there are some people who can do that and develop great software.

So I’ve been writing a series of articles related to this topic. It’s called “Long Term Project Planning” (Part 2 releasing today). It’ll get you started on your Journey to planning a great and successful project for the future.
