New versions are different from in the course. And the mentor should explain for installing in Ubuntu also.

I appreciate the information provided. I was not able to find the same versions, for example Ubuntu 14.04.4, not sure where to find it, so it looks a little different

This was a great course, short and sweet. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get a better understanding of how to set up a LAMP stack from scratch. It would have been nice to get a bit more info on Samba Share and the settings, but the course gave enough information so that I could quickly find answers to all my questions online.

Simple and straight forward course. Provides a basic understanding of the building blocks regarding LAMP and what to expect when installing each component. Your own curiosity will lead to deeper knowledge and tinkering.

Took this one out of curiosity, turns out it’s surprisingly easy to set up a web server, if my computer was working and I’d wanted to host a portfolio or some other website I would be tempted to try it myself rather than pay for all the hosting etc.
Leads to more questions as to how you would need to upgrade your computer if you wanted to host websites with more traffic etc but the tutorials itself were super relatable and easy to understand/follow 10/10 for the instructor.

I would have liked to see more examples of LAMP services. What else can you do with PHP and MySQL besides install Wordpress? I did appreciate the 0-60 approach.

Very concise information. Well presented. I got the expected results in understanding how to set up a VM & server. Nice Job, Paul.

Very straight forward directions, but not a lot of "why". Great free course, but I wouldn't pay for it. Lots of similar free content can be found with simple Google searches.

I thought this course was outstanding! It was simple and too the point, without going into details that the average person who just wants to understand out how to set up a lab at home cares to know. Great course Paul!

This course was short and sweet. It did not go into depth regarding many of the components discussed. Its value to me was simply to give step-by-step directions on an effective way to build a web development lab. I will be using other components (Xenserver), but Paul's course has given me some useful tips.

Not a flashy course subject so it's great to have a solid straight forward approach that simply works. Not much more to want. Down graded by a star. Q&A responses very long.

Basic course, easy to follow and get things set up quickly. The course vidoes could use a little editing in places, but overall the information was concise and easy to follow.

A fast paced review of the steps to setting up a virtual machine running a LAMP stack of software for web development, along with Wordpress installation and how to setup the Windows Host OS to easily use it. To quote Dragnet it's "Just the facts"

Very interesting course, I was never sure how easy or hard it was to install Wordpress, but this course will show you it is super easy.
