Bitbucket has been preferred in the past if you wanted free private repositories. I think recently Github has announced free private repositories as well.

Code Projects Folder & Wamp Setup
Decide where you want to store your projects folder (or whatever you want to name it) on your hard drive. Wamp is picky about how the folder is named. Might be best to do c:\projects.
Next, create a sub folder there named with your first project (no spaces, all lowercase).
Next create a new virtual host in wamp. Left click on the Wamp icon in the system try, go to Your Virtual Hosts --> Virtual Host Management. It will open a management console in your web browser.
Type in the address of the local website. My recommendation is to type in your public domain name but instead of .com or .net type in .test. <yourdomainname>.test
type in the path of the webroot: c:\projects\yourprojectfolder
use Visual Studio to create an index.html file in that folder.
then, use your browser and type http://yourdomainname.test in the address bar and press enter. My recommendation is to use Chrome or Firefox.
I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.

Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
