11,769 PointsWAMP?
While I'm pretty confident that the there shouldn't be any issues, I just wanted to check to see if WAMP will suffice for this course? I've got a WAMP install on the machine I use the most, and I don't see this course needed us to do any local FTP.... and I'd rather avoid XAMPP for reason not limited to, but including the Peral/Python PIP thing, but will do so if needed.
Thanks!

The course doesn't require any ftp knowledge or skills, and even if it did there is FileZilla which makes FTP a breeze. There's great documentation on getting the most out of WAMP, but generally speaking once it's installed you're good to go without any customization. Good luck with the course!
