Hello!
I have never worked with .NET and I am ready to get started with it. Some time ago, I found myself on this very spot but dropped it and went back to the program I have used since late '80s (don't ask!).
I bought Visual Studio.net Enterprise Architect Version 2003 (very long time ago ...) and wonder if this is any good today.
I have a Win 2K3 server where I run apache, php and MySQL. I do not want to disrupt this setup so I figure I may need to get a 2nd PC with XP on it where I can run IIS and whatever else .NET seems to need for it to work.
I guess that what I am looking for is answers to:
a) Is the visual studio v. 2003 I have any good today?
b) Do I need to have visual studio to develop .net?
b1) If not, what are my alternatives? Pros - cons ...
c) Can .NET work with Apache in lieu of IIS?
d) Aside from this forum, any other site where good tutorials can be found?
These should get me started. Thank you all in advance for your assistance!
Regards,
