If, like me, you’re old enough to have been developing websites in the 90s, you’ll remember how frustrating the experience was. Manually installing PHP, MySQL and Apache
I’ll quickly recap how things have changed over the years.
The “right way” has moved on quite significantly since then. That article is only from 2015, but five or six years is an eon in ever-moving web development timescales. At the time it was a fantastic introduction to the (then) best way to set up a local development environment. Until a couple of years ago, I sent everyone I was teaching to Bruno Skvorc’s excellent article Re-introducing Vagrant: The Right Way to Start with PHP. As a result, a lot of the tutorials get outdated quite quickly. (How did we ever cope without CSS Grid?) PHP is now on version 8, and even the tools we use to execute PHP scripts are being refined over time. CSS best practices change as new properties are added to the specification. One of the problems with web development is that things change at a rapid pace.
