MAMP (PHP, MySQL, Apache), JQuery

Installed MAMP to get MySQL, Apache and PHP. Works pretty well out of the box. Can change location for your root in the MAMP control panel, I put it at username/Public/www.

Had some issues with file permissions when I wanted to edit the .php files from the Windows machine at mum and dad's: I had to share the Public folder using the Sharing preferences, using SMB. Then I had to change the permissions on the www subfolder, maybe using the finder properties where there is a permissions list.

I used JQuery a few months back to get Ajax functionality - it's lean and capable and easy to learn, and has good tutorials.
