Apache just a web server.. you need more than that

W - Windows
A - Apache
M - Mysql
P - PHP

You don't need Apache, you need an integrated solution or IDE for coding:

• WampServer
• OpenServer
• Denwer
• etc

Do you test every language for web developing through these servers? aka css/javascript too? Do you build themes through them as well? I mean are they something like game engines for web developing? ( I don't even know what game engine is)

OpenServer is the best solution.

Keep in mind files in Windows are case insensitive, in Linux (which is highly likely the OS your server will run on) they're not.

You got a clear response from many people. That way you can install it locally.
Now for the real world I would suggest that you get a box on Vultr for $2.5 and start playing with Linux, installing uninstalling and running some tests.
If you fuck up something just erase and start with a new box doing some new tests.
There is a lot of content on DigitalOcean, Linode and Vultr blogs.
Here a cheatsheet for Linux commands that you can test.
