Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 13,838 PointsGabor Gazdag Just to clarify with your answer, I would still be able to use XAMP and phpMyAdmin to go through the Database courses, correct?
I started the MySQL stuff a while back just to take a look at it all. I installed and used the MySQL stuff as in the video. A couple of weeks ago, I deleted all the MySQL stuff and installed XAMP to use with practicing building websites. Just curious if I will need to get rid of XAMP and go back to the MySQL installs to finish all the courses (whenever I get around to it).
