Virtual World
Check out the latest virtual development environment. I had a virtual environment running Ubuntu, but Apache and navigating around in the foreign environment was unproductive so I ditched it. One way ticket to the curb.
I keep the hard drive and configuration on the laptop clean and was not looking forward to installing a PHP environment, IDE, Debugger, and Frameworks. What to do? I know. Create a Windows-based virtual environment.
Here it is folks, a Windows XP Pro SP3 development environment running PHP 5.2.8, MySQL 5.x, MySQL GUI Tools, Zend, and Yii PHP Frameworks. Did I mention it was a virtual sandbox, so I can keep the laptop in its current mean and lean state. Nice!
