ASP programming

[vbmark]

Greets,

I need to do some ASP programming. What tools are recommended.

For the editor I'd like the following features:
- It must be free
- Code completion
- Code coloring
- WYSIWYG or preview
- Built in HTML & ASP documentation

For testing ASP on the local machine all I could find was Apache. Is this the correct tool for testing ASP locally? Is anything else recommended?

Thanks!

I didn't even think you could do ASP on Linux.

PHP is more common on Linux. By the way, there is a asp2php program that attempts to convert asp to php.

yes, you can run ASP on linux with softwatre such as ChilliSoft ASP by Sun (It was bought over by sun - formerly Chillisoft)

Is that a properitory program?

Better off switching to PHP.

It is nicely supported by Apache and supports FOSS databases on GNU/Linux.
