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!
=)

23,264 PointsWAMP is perfect, in fact if you're on Windows it's the tool I'd recommend above all others. 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!

16,335 PointsI've used WAMP, seems to work just fine. I normally use MAMP now since I'm on Mac, but you'll never know for sure until you try it out. Good luck

6,735 PointsWAMP should definitely be good enough. I use MAMP (on a mac) all the time and it gets the job done.
