T4 - Jordan School District

Show Notes

In this "Special Delivery 1", we discuss two pieces of Open Source software for your Windows PC:  WAMP and Joomla.  This podcast has been created in connection with the after-school Jordan School District Professional Development "Content Management Systems" class.

WAMP is:

• W - Windows (Operating System)
  
• A - Apache (Software that serves webpages)
  
• M - MySQL (Database software)
  
• P - PHP (A Scripting Language used to create dynamic webpages)

In the podcast, we discuss how to install WAMP on Windows XP as well as how to configure WAMP for Joomla use.  Finally, we install Joomla.
