In this video we talk about WAMP. Which is basically an acronym formed from the initials of the operating system Microsoft Windows and other components: Apache, MySQL and PHP (or Perl or Python). Apache is a web server used for serving webpages. MySQL is a database management software.

WAMP is an icon which appears on the taskbar tray displays the status of WAMP, letting you know if; a) WAMP is running but no services are opened (the icon will appear red), b) WAMP is running and one service is opened (the icon will appear yellow) or c) WAMP is running with all services opened (the icon will appear white). Apache and MySQL are considered to be services (they can be disabled by left-clicking on the taskbar icon, guiding your cursor over the service you wish to disable and selecting "Stop Service").

With WAMP you can also access the PHPmyadmin file and the PHP.ini file. Both the very important and you can access these things with a click of a button without going too deep into the file system.
