The Problem
Whether you are a firm or individual involved in web development, the first and foremost requirement is to have the best-suited development environment to build and test the sites before putting them up on the live servers. The web development industry sees desktop environments like Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu being used interchangeably and the need of the hour is a system that would remain common wherever the developer goes. This system needs to be as much close to a web server as possible with least constraints and should also be capable of getting set up quickly and fully. Additionally, even clients and team members should have the same environment accessible to them to make the whole development process streamlined. An assortment of software should be usable, which includes but is not limited to Visual Studio, MS Access, PHP, Java, Scala, PaintShop Pro, Dreamweaver, Apache-PHP-MySQL and desktop software such as XAMPP, WAMP and MAMP, and of course, MS Office.
