Windows user and Linux Web Project

I would like to gather here some opinions on what development pipeline to select to efficiently develop a Linux Web Project, if I am a Windows user and developer. Here are couple of possibilities but some has its cons and pros:

• Develop everything on Windows and then port for Linux. Disadvantage is, that porting Windows project to Linxu will cost time and resources, which might be avoided, if I would develop within Linux.


• Install Virtual Machine. I will be still within windows, but be developing under Linux. Virtual Machine is usually a bit slower which is not very comfortable while programming


• Install a Linux machine and develop everything there. Here, the main disadvantages are, that I have to run two physical machines, which might be unnecessary. I will miss tools which I normally use within Windows.

I would like to know from efficient developer, what is reliable and most efficient pipeline to develop web applications running on Linux (LAMP) if the developer is comfortable Within Windows OS.

I will use:

• HTML5


• JavaScript


• PHP


• CSS3


• MySQL


• JQuery


• Windows: WAMP


• Linux: LAMP

Thanks in advance.
