title: Porting serial daemon + PHP to Windows
body: <p>I have a Linux system with:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>a daemon that communicate with another device via RS232 port.</li>
  <li>a php + javascript web site that talks to the daemon through a
  socket.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Now the boss wants to find out how much of an effort is required to port all these onto Windowze.</p>
  
  <p>Having never really programmed on Windows before, I'd like to ask how easy/hard this is going to be and what the options are. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
