title: Simple Website (Apache/PHP/MySQL + JavaScript)
body: <p>I've been asked to create a fairly straightforward website for a friend. Essentially a user will log in, fill in a set of information, and submit it. This data will then need to written to a database (and read from/presented at a future point).</p>
  
  <p>I'm not really a web developer (I do mostly Java/C++), but about 3 years ago I worked on a project where we created a site using WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP), with a bit of JavaScript/AJAX thrown in for good measure. I was going to use WAMP again, but am concerned that there might be better tools available now. </p>
  
  <p>So, is the WAMP approach a good one for a straightforward site like this? </p>
  
  <p>If so, what tools would you recommend to use for the development of PHP/Javascript?</p>
  
  <p>Finally, I saw in one of the blog posts that Stack Overflow uses JQuery. Would it be worthwhile to use these libs?</p>
