ASP on a mac

Has anyone any experience of developing .ASP web pages on a MAC running XP?

I haven't done any .asp pages specifically, but I do a lot of development work with Windows Vista on my iMac. I have both Apache and the IIS web server installed and use both for testing and both perform well. I also have Apache installed on a Windows XP PC in my office for testing. As long as you have all of the necessary software installed, I can't imagine that .asp development would be any more of a problem than any other web development.

.asp stuff requires to be on particular directories with particular permissions when you're running/testing it from your PC.


That's true for cgi as well. It's just a matter of configuring the necessary directories and permissions on your local computer. I do it all the time. Anything you can do on a production server you can do on your own computer with either Apache or IIS and any necessary supporting software.

I have both Apache and IIS set up as fully functioning web servers in Vista on my iMac to use for testing, but I could just as easily put them online. It doesn't really matter whether you actually have it running on the Internet (which you wouldn't want to do with your personal computer). It's just a matter of having the necessary software and having it configured correctly and you have a test system that is exactly the same as a production server.
