Hi,
For local development and coding I use WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP) at my laptop and it is really great to do coding while disconnected from wide wide wild internet.
I use PhpMYAdmin to access MySQL db from localhost but just recently i was introduced with a Desktop Program named MySQL-Front to access MySQL db and much operations fast!
Shahzad my close friend just left today, for last two days he was with me at my dorm room + office. Wow what a learning experience to spend time with this senior developer. He has introduced this tool and I have downloaded their trail version and i am already having fun with it.
Another great development tool to add in my growing development tools collection!
Have you tried SqlYog. It’s another great desktop tool to edit MySQL databases and its free.
