.NET newbie want's to go "open source" ;-)
Posted: Fri Jul 01, 2005 3:10 am
Hi Gang, I look forward to the forum. I have spent the last few years developing "all kinds of stuff" with .NET, both local apps and web apps.
I am envious of the open source thing and have officially decided to get involved. I live in a windows world and have read about a zillion articles on getting started in a windows environment.
Specifically, I'm looking to run Apache, mySQL, PHP - I think this is a common arrangment. Anyway, I have only one development machine and CAN'T stop IIS/.NET. Is there a way to run apache/php/mySQL and IIS/.NET/MSSQL on the same rig. It's critical that my development environment doesn't get hosed during the install. I'm a hands on type and would rather download files and use the command line than getting a program to install the stuff for me (unless this is crazy?)
I went to the php site and couldn't even figure out what the heck i need to get. LOL. Sorry for the blog, just looking for advice at this piont
