This is one of those posts which likely will only interest a very small percentage of our readers, but I want to get it documented for any who might be interested and saved here in case I need to find it again in the future. I have discovered MAMP! MAMP stands for "MacOS X, Apache, MySQL, and PHP." (Some are now thinking, Is this post in English?) Essentially, Apache, PHP, and MySQL are among the main building building blocks of much of the World Wide Web. If you can program using these tools, you can build just about any kind of website that the average person may wish to create.
I have been trying to build a few web apps (most of what you see on Mod-Blog is free stuff and requires no real knowledge of anything beyond HTML) but needed a way to test them away from the prying eye of the World Wide Web. MacOS X does include a built-in Apache and PHP installation, but setting it up is not easy. And it can open your network-connected Mac to snooping by other parties. MAMP on the other hand installs a stand-alone version of this framework, and lets you play with it in a way that does not open you up to any risk... and it is as easy as openning and application and then quitting it.
We'll see how it goes and if I actually get anything going. But this little app seems like a keeper to me.
