Over the last decade, apple has seen a tremendous increase in profits through sales of Ipod and Macs (AAPL stock price increased from 9.90 to 261.89). One contributing factor to Apple’s ingenious success is undoubtedly their aggressive advertisement practices. This is especially true for their Macintosh platform. Features such as security and stability are often boasted while, competitors offerings are ridiculed. In this post we will test Apple’s Macintosh platform in comparison with items offered by other technological giants such as Hp and Dell to see whether the products live up to their high claims.

Setting up a developmental web server

Developmental web-servers are a great method to test new website features or mockups without deploying the code on the live site. Internal testing ensures that users experience minimal disturbance while new features are coded. It also enables programmers to deploy iterations of a code and optimize for performance and stability. In this article, software such as XAMPP and Wamp will be used to create a personal server capable of handling PHP, ASP, HTML, MYSQL and FTP. Lastly, we will also take a look at how this server can be deployed on the internet through the use of Dynamic DNS services.
