ASP and Mac

Yes, I'd still reccommend that ASP be taken seriously. Whether or not people
take that advice is open to debate :)

I'm due to start a new ASP project soon. The reason I got was because the
in-house .NET developers were not familiar with ASP. So, there could well be
a niche market for ASP developers. There'll be a lot of legacy code out
there.

Thanks for the clarification, David. I didn't know that (since I
don't work with PHP/mySQL).

MySQL is available in two versions: Enterprise and Community. The
programs are the same, but the Enterprise version comes with lots of
support (or so I believe). The Community version is free, but comes with
no support.

This has always been the model for MySQL. However, MySQL has renamed the
licences and is pushing the commercial version far more vigorously than
before.

What website?

Remember: MS SQL != mySQL

If you have an intel processor, then that's the x86 one. PowerPC chips are
what Apple used to use before switching to intel.

x86 is just a generic way to say 'intel compatible' in the PC world.

Well, you can run Linux on a Mac just fine too.

In fact, with a Mac, you can run OSX, Windows, and Linux all at the same
time if you wanted too. Obviously, you'd want to max out your RAM if you are
doing that. ;o)

One more question, it has 3 versions to download for the osx 10.4 version of mac. Power PC 32 bit, power pc 64 bit, and x86. Does anyone know if or which one of these will work with the mac with theintel processor?

I would say PHP is definitely the way to go, but for the record, you can
install Windows on your Mac as well. That's why Macs are great for web
developers. You can easily run multiple OSes at the same time.

A mac is a PC. It can run Windows just fine.

But I agree with David, I wouldn't push ASP as an option much these days.
