I want to be able to write some code using her laptop in the fastest way.</p> <p>After experimenting with multiple set-ups like XAMPP or any programming language + a database, I found out that the fastest setup is drum roll....</p> <p>NodeJS (Javascript) + Visual Studio Code. Plus a few clicks on Next buttons :)</p> <p>Seriously !</p> <p>The installation of Node and VS Code took under 10 minutes and a short restart for updating the path and I was ready to go. At least for console applications, but this setup should be ok for web apps. Also, a database like PostgreSQL or MySql can be installed for persistence.</p> <p>That's all for today folks !<br> Cosmin </p> dev setup
