WORKSHOP: Build an Open Source Dev Environment

NEW EVENT

What is the one thing that programming classes don't teach you...how to set up a development environment! We will be going through how to install a simple, 1 stop solution to being able to do Open Source Development with PHP (XAMPP). In addition, we will also set up Eclipse to work with XAMPP for the best results.

I will be going through setting this up on Windows machines (sorry Mac users...).

****Things you need IN ADVANCE:

• Download, but don't install, Eclipse. The link is: CLICK HERE (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php) (I suggest the Standard Build...you can add things yourself from there)

• Download and Install Java Runtime Environment, if you haven't already. The link is: CLICK HERE (http://java.com/en/)

• Download, but don't install, XAMPP. The link is: CLICK HERE (https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html) (I suggest version 1.8.3)

If you have any questions regarding what to download, feel free to comment. I will respond prior to the event. BRING YOUR LAPTOPS.

Keep in mind as well that you will need to be ON TIME for this type of event, and please check in with the security desk when you arrive.
