HTTPS, it’s a secure http protocol. With the web becoming part of day to day life people expect almost all application and services should be web enabled and it will happen soon.

Installing AMP (Apache, MySQL and PHP) have become quite easier with single wizard based installations available as a packet these days. Like using XAMPP, WAMP you can just install them and use. But with these setups, you will have (or will not have) less knowledge about configuring them each in your own way because they will present some user interface where you can directly do configurations by one click.
