Best OS For Programmers by Nobody: 3:58pm On Jul 08, 2013 |
If you have tried windows 8 you will know is not a go area for programmers [maybe for now] am a big fan of windows OS even if I can't tell which rocks better between XP and Seven. I would like fellow programmers to let us know which OS or version of OS rock their wor[k]ld |
Re: Best OS For Programmers by Nobody: 4:15pm On Jul 08, 2013 |
Xp. Linux is da best i tink |
Re: Best OS For Programmers by Seun(m): 6:27pm On Jul 08, 2013 |
Windows 7 is definitely better than Windows XP. Very old operating systems are not secure. They don't get security updates. |

Seun: Windows 7 is definitely better than Windows XP. Very old operating systems are not secure.what of now windows 8 is out, are u saying windows 7 is insecure. Mind u we learnt fortran77 in school and the compiler watfor77 is not compatible with window 7 but xp. Are u saying our university peeps and lecturer who learn and teach those languages are not programmers. Lol at fortran77 |

I use windows 8, but am not finding it funny using wampserver, its only visual studio that it rocks wella... Am thinking of running windows 7 on it also so that i can maximise the laptop... Right now am trying to install virtual pc, nd its telling me compatibility issues... "Of all, windows 7 noni" |
Re: Best OS For Programmers by curiouslad(m): 1:45pm On Jul 14, 2013 |

Re: Best OS For Programmers by kingscorps(m): 10:36pm On Jul 14, 2013 |
Well, people should stick to what works for them but as a linux user who has tried a lot of linux distros, Linux is definitely the right choice if you want to go far. Currently i run a dual boot of kali linux and windows7 on one pc and Gentoo on the other. |

Djtm: The reason why apache is not working might be because Microsoft IIS is using port 80 Try configuring apache to use another port. The other option is to stop IIS. 2 Likes |
Re: Best OS For Programmers by Djtm(m): 5:09pm On Jul 15, 2013 |
Thanks, I tried all those and it didn't work. I changed the port to 81, 444 it also didn't work. I now type the url as 127.0.0.1:81 or localhost:81. It works for me lyk dat now. |
Re: Best OS For Programmers by Nobody: 7:46pm On Jul 15, 2013 |

Re: Best OS For Programmers by Djtm(m): 9:16pm On Jul 15, 2013 |

I use windows 8 and ubuntu dual boot, Windows 8 works flawlessly with apache, do pple still use wamp, at this age get Xampp i use Zend Server since i use Zend Framework. |
Re: Best OS For Programmers by curiouslad(m): 12:54pm On Jul 19, 2013 |
pc guru: I use windows 8 and ubuntu dual boot, Windows 8 works flawlessly with apache, do pple still use wamp, at this age get Xampp i use Zend Server since i use Zend Framework. I still use wamp. Feel xampp is bloated, Are there any pro-xampp differences? Pray do tell |
Re: Best OS For Programmers by Nobody: 4:17pm On Jul 19, 2013 |
Xampp comes with extra extensions which i find useful, plus wamp uses the xdebug which i don,t use i use Zend Debugger so i clealry never prefered wamp much, but then again wamp,xampp are all the same, Zend is a bit different and is quite comfy for me |

Linux OS should do a great job handling programming in C/C++, python, perl, lisp, PHP etc. I prefer kali linux, though it's basically a pen testing OS meaning you get to do some legal hacking and can decide to go shadow walker but OYO for you sha , it also comes with Adruino which comes in handy if you are into hardware microcontroller programming and moreover on linux i can just work in my terminal, writing and compilation can be done easily. You could also do a dual boot using windows 7 for web based stuff . It's pretty cool |
