SSL and apache information
From time to time, and since last week, there are more questions about HTTPS and SSL. So I didn't want to go into this and look for good information about the subject.
Also I have developed XAMPP and VISTA and I am looking for a good tutorial to get SSL to work in this environment.
Anyone got any good resources or tutorials or books on this subject? Or a good tutorial on how to make it work?
Thanks in advance!

This and this one should catch you in the right direction. As far as configuring XAMPP to use SSL, I don't think this is really necessary, since XAMPP is for local development and not a production server, so it won't be useful for you to add SSL to something that won't carry any important information.

Don't send your head to HowTos! Be sure to read some of the information about HTTPS and SSL to better understand what security issues it addresses.
Words like "SSL", "certificates" and "encryption" are thrown out a lot, make sure you understand what they can do for you and what you need. And, if you end up buying a certificate, what are you paying for.
There is a pretty good layman explanation for this in Bruce Schneiers ' Secrets and Lies , and there must be many more places where concepts are explained.

SSL and TLS Essentials is a book with a good introduction to SSL. There are also many online SSL FAQs that you can get started with.
