### "A software with more usecases"

October 25, 2022

4.0

Actually, XAMPP has benefits and also a few disadvantages. But these disadvantages can be reduced with appropriate decisions. When compared to paid tools. I can say XAMPP is a much preferable choice for a developer.

Pros

XAMPP is software that can easily use for any project. It isn't a platform-dependent tool. So if anyone who works in different os can get more benefits from XAMPP. And also it has a control panel to categorize its features in a better way. The most important thing about this tool is it can use for different types of use cases such as custom coding and also WordPress development.

Cons

If you are considering the high security of the web servers and mail servers, actually XAMPP is not a good choice. Because attackers can hack the applications through its key ingredients like MySQL. But this won't affect projects which develop in the local environment.

### "Indispensable pour les développeurs Web"

November 7, 2022

5.0

Pros

Xaamp est le logiciel indispensable pour tous les développeurs web. Simple d'utilisation, il permet de lancer en quelques secondes un serveur local pour travailler sur vos projet de manière privée.

Cons

Le système de gestion lorsque l'on veut faire du multi-site est selon moi un peu compliqué lorsque l'on veut par exemple installer plusieurs sites wordpress puisque le serveur local pointe sur un seul et même dossier racine.

### "Servidor local para páginas y proyectos web"

October 9, 2022

5.0

Es una opción muy buena para trabajar en proyectos web o tenerlos en el ordenador como copias de seguridad para hacer cambios antes de trasladarlos a una web online. He tenido muy buenas experiencias en Windows, pero en ordenadores Mac he tenido que usar otro tipo de aplicación porque me cambiaba los permisos de las carpetas impidiendo escribir o modificar su contenido desde la web en proyecto.

Pros

Es gratuito y convierte el ordenador en un servidor local para trabajar en proyectos web, tanto sitios como aplicaciones antes de colgarlas en internet.

Cons

Hay opciones que necesitas tener conocimientos avanzados para poder configurarlas, como permitir el envío de correos electrónicos desde un correo determinado.
