I'开发者_如何学Gom starting to learning some asp.net so I'm looking for an application to develop asp.net using a mac.

I know dreamweaver can be used to write asp.net but I don't have any application to run a test server.

Wondering what my options are regarding developing and testing (not on a live server) using a mac.

thanks!

MonoDevelop (available on Mac) would be your best bet for an IDE. Please note that you would be developing for Mono technically (this is a .NET implementation on non-microsoft platforms).

Keep in mind that the learning curve (coming from Dreamweaver) may be a bit steep in the beginning.

I use a Macbook Pro to build ASP.NET sites using Windows 7. It was incredibly easy to setup Bootcamp. I partitioned 50GB and installed Windows 7. From there you can install Web Developer Express - http://www.asp.net/vwd/.

The only drawback is I have to go through a kludgy hack to disable the backlight but not sure if you have an desktop or notebook.
