Fast-paced, but well covered all aspects of the setup.

By Kesha Tate on 1/9/2017

Great info, very helpful. Had to do a little translating for Mac environment, but with a little searching I was able to get back on track. I was finally able to set up my localhost, so the course was well worth it.

By Juan Manuel Dominguez Tlapale on 11/23/2016

El curso es una introduccion muy basica a los entornos web, me parece algo dispersa, ya que no se enfoca mucho en una sola herramienta. Tal vez me hubiera gustado algo mas de tecnicismos.

By Steve Austin on 5/21/2016

I have seen 2 lectures and no information on Xampp working with Dreamweaver CC, or any other set up instructions. just notepad ++ wich is not the best text editor but what ever.

By Ron Ratliff on 3/4/2016

Super course. Clear instruction and easy to follow along with. By the end of the course you will have a local host to build on and test your code with. Every course I have taken by Mr. Svekis has been great. I highly recommend yet another. Thanks Laurence, -Ron Ratliff

By Arnfinn Lindseth on 9/20/2015

This course is very well laid out, the instructor is prepared and now the subject well. There are some small glitches through the course, but nothing serious. Overall a good course, worth taking. A tip to the instructor is to also include install and setup for OSX and Linux (Ubuntu?). That would have been helpful also.

By Jason Archie on 9/19/2015

One of the most useful courses I have ever taken, it answered many questions I had. Topic is very well covered. Excellent course to learn more about setting up localhost

By Andrew Norman on 9/4/2015

Great topic, I've setup xamp before but this course is great o learn all of those extras that really help you get going. Great to see it happen and then try to reproduce instead of many online tutorials that just brush over these important topics.

By Peter Bobkin on 9/1/2015

Whenever I want to write some code, I find I spend way too much time trying to setup my environment. This course was just what I was looking for. Topic is very well covered and will help you understand those small time consuming things that are hard to find information on.

By Peter Blackledge on 8/27/2015

Very helpful. Steps through the process, shows how to manage the local web server to suit your requirements, points to useful resources & further help. One or two rough edges but overall delivers what it promises.
