Hi all,

I want to build a new web site on my computer but don't want to pay for web hosting until it's ready. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how I can view web files on my home PC in a browser and have it functional? Thanks.
 


Yeah, WAMP if you're on PC WampServer, the web development platform on Windows - Apache, MySQL, PHP. Google it's setup, there are a million tutorials out there. The only fiddly bits are editing your httpd.conf and php.ini so everything points to the right directories so when you go to localhost it shows you your web dev folder directory, and so when you hit F12 in something like Sublime Text, it opens the file you're editing in your web browser.
