In today’s screencast, the first of a series, I am going to go all the way back to basics and walk you through setting up a local development environment (the easy way) on your computer that will allow you to code in PHP, develop applications, and test scripts such as Wordpress, Drupal, MODx, etc. This series of screencasts may be rudimentary for some of you, but I think that for the very rank beginners these may help lower the barrier to entering the world of web development.

Hi Mary,
I followed your MODx tutorials and now have the basic bones of a website running on my local WAMP server (setup using your excellent tutorial). Before I do any more work I would like to know how to port this over to a web server. I have found some instructions in the MODx wiki but it’s all gobbledegook to me! Any chance of one of your excellent tutorials or webcasts on how to do this?
