Apache, MySQL and PHP for Windows 7 Starter

Windows 7 starter edition is pretty bare bones. So when I decided I wanted to look into doing some limited web development on my netbook, I needed to install something very small.  After Googling around a bit I found this server: http://www.uniformserver.com/



The Uniform Server is a Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP bundle for Windows designed to work off flash drives. The whole package zips into a file that is only 10 megs. In addition, all the software runs from the directory the software is unzipped into. No registry changes needed. Just run the start.exe program and everything runs. Very cool.

Using Apache mod rewrite to make REST URL

I ran across this article on webreference.com, describing how to make REST URL out of a typical HTTP get URL. Looks interesting.
