I just googled it and they say "YAML ain't a markup language", which leaves it open to debate. Is YAML yet another markup language which ain't another markup language or does the acronym "YAML" stand for something else? :confused: Having worked on AT&T UNIX before it was released as a commercial product (UNIX v2 and UNIX v3) I am familiar with "YACC", but I don't know if the "YAML" people are.

I don't know, it's kind of like XML but without all the faff. So I would say that it is a markup language which is where I got confused. Anyway, who cares it does the job. :thumbsup:

If you are just doing things to practice you could just install MySQL on windows and configure IIS to run PHP[^] and or Ruby[^] or download a LAMP virtual machine.[^]

[Luc Pattyn]

For local experiments (PHP, MySQL) on a Windows platform, you can use XAMPP[^], it works just fine. :)

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.

How does that compare to WAMP[^]? I see it's got an FTP server and Perl built in but if it's a local machine why would you want that...

[Luc Pattyn]

Hi Ed, I don't recall. I did use WAMP once (on XP), but switched to XAMPP when I started using Vista, probably because it better matched my web host[^]'s offering. :)

If you need best hosting, then email me. We'll take about it later. But in brief, you'll get almost everything unlimited ;)

I am also using 1and1[^], started of with simple hosting, and now use a windows virtual server. Running my websites using joomla, php, mysql, phpbb. Had no issues with their services at all.

Just build your own local server if that's all you want to do. It's certainly a lot cheaper...
