• Description

XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris. The package includes the Apache web server, MySQL, PHP, Perl, a FTP server and phpMyAdmin.

XAMPP has been designed to be the easiest way to install and run a development server. There are numerous other WAMP packages available, but XAMPP is one of the most complete on offer. In addition to Apache, MySQL, and PHP, XAMPP includes other really useful tools such as the phpMyAdmin database administration tool, FileZilla FTP server, Mercury mail server, Perl programming language, and JSP server Tomcat.

In the XAMPP control panel you can configure the above services with ease. XAMPP can also install an administration site as the home page of the server. From which you can undertake all manner of administrative tasks, such as checking the server status and security, launch tools like phpMyAdmin and Webalizer analytics. You can also view PHP demos which can be of use for those developers who are just starting out.

Overall, XAMPP is a great tool for anyone looking to get a full development server up and running within quick time constraints. The only issue that we can see, is that because it is so easy to setup, it doesn't have the security features for this to be used as a production server. However, if you really need to make the server Web accessible, then you can do so, albeit against the advice of the Apache Friends development team.

• Description

Visual C++ is a powerful development environment that's designed to give you detailed control when you build either native Windows (COM+) applications or .NET Framework managed Windows applications. Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition provides a complete integrated development and debugging environment making it the easiest way to create custom, powerful applications using the C/C++ language. Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition also contains an enhanced version of the C/C++ optimizing compiler for the fastest executables.

Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition is fairly easy to install if you know your way around C++. The start page has been freshly designed and makes finding your way around Visual C++ really simple, whilst the improved code editor also makes the process easier.

Code colorization, syntax checking, IntelliSense and other tools will help you code both quickly and correctly. By using an intuitive graphical debugger you can quickly find and eliminate programming errors you may have made. You will also be able to create .NET Framework applications with advanced features such as data access, networking, and built-in printing support, and build 32-bit native code applications designed for Windows using the Windows Platform SDK.

As this is the express version of Visual C++ some of the features such as some compilers and debugging tools that are available in the full version are not available in Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition. That being said it is a crisp version that is perfect for beginners and is a highly functional tool-set for coding in C++.

• Description

Vim is an advanced text editor, which harvests the power of Unix' editor 'Vi', albeit with an enhanced feature set. It is highly configurable, and has been designed to enable efficient text editing, much like 'Vi'.

Key features include:

• Vim offers syntax highlighting for over 200 languages.
• Edit-Compile-Fix.
• Highlighting Matches.
• Highly configurable.

Vim is not just for programmers though; it can be configured to work in a very simple manner called Easy Vim or eVim. Vim is not a word processor, but it can display text with various forms of highlighting and formatting. Vim is a perfect tool for all kinds of text editing, from composing email to editing configuration files.

With Vim you can edit very effectively. The most often used commands are just a single key stroke. To allow for this, you need to start Insert mode to enter text and return to Normal mode to execute commands. This is advantageous in that you can keep your hands on the keyboard and work very fast. The learning curve isn't that steep and if you are used to other 'in-depth' editors then Vim maybe what you are looking for. However, if you really don't have time to learn the effective way of editing, there is the Easy Vim option.
