XAMPP VS. MAMP ON PC

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH A PREVIOUS "WORDPRESS" COURSE IN WHICH TAUGHT "MAMP" FOR PC. IN WHICH I DID IN FACT DOWNLOAD AND AM LEARNING FROM "LOCALHOSTING" ONLY.

BUT, AS I MOVED FORWARED WITH LEARING MORE ABOUT 'WORDPRESS' THE COURSES ARE TEACHING TO USE XAMPP!

HOWEVER, I HAVE ALREADY DOWLOAD AND INSTALLED MAMP. So, I feel lost.

WHAT SHOULD I DO? I ALSO WANT TO Go live WITH WORDPRESS -- and the courses now are TEACHING ABOUT xmapp NOT mamp usage.

ANY ADVICE? DO I CONTINUE WITH MAMP AND LEARN HOW TO GO LIVE ON MY OWN AND IGNORE XMAPP?

Just use mamp as you have already installed it. There are no major difference between them as you just use them to create mysql databases to run wordpress locally. Wordpress will be same on all them, so just focus on learning about it.

Ok, thank you for your advice! I will do!
