Is there a way I can follow the tutorial before going for real hosting ? (like a simulation program)

From What I saw, the tutorial seems to be demonstrated with real hosting. But I haven't decided yet which hosting I should put my money on. So it would be great if there's such way to simulate the WordPress locally in my computer

Hi There.

I use XAMPP which acts as a local web server so I can download wordpress to a local machine instead of isntalling straight to a web domain but there are a number of options available. I think MAMP or DesktopServer are the options for a Mac

There's a great course that covers this called Local WordPress Development which will get you up to speed. :)
