One of the first hurdles individuals run into when breaking into web development is setting up a testing server. This often occurs when you create your first PHP page in Dreamweaver or other text editor and try to view it in your browser. Most likely, you see some bizarre ‘Unable to Connect’ message or even worse, a window pops up for you to download the file you are trying to view. These undesirable results are probably occurring because you haven’t set up your computer to be able to serve PHP pages. The good news is…you can now set up a PHP/MySQL testing server in minutes.

If you are a web developer, having some good “cheat sheets” is an excellent resource. There are some great ones available at Added Bytes for all sorts of topics including PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, MySQL and more. They are all free to download and are available in PDF and PNG formats.
To give myself quick access whenever I need the reference, I added a folder with all the cheat sheets right to my OSX dock. You could do the same with Windows Taskbar shortcuts, or bookmarks in your favorite browser. Now any quick help I need is just a simple click away.
