For developing WordPress websites I use Desktop Sever by ServerPress.com.  This tool allows me to create a locally installed WordPress site in seconds.  It runs on Macs and Windows.  You can start using it for free!  They have a Premium paid version that offers more features.  These features are support for Dreamweaver live view and full panic Coda support. Another premium feature is direct deployment to the Live Site.  I just used this feature last week to upload a site in about one hour.  It would have taken me 8 to 10 hours to do it manually.  So, if you want to get started creating WordPress websites, do yourself a favor and download Desktop Sever today!!!
