Starting to get involved in working with ASP, but need some way to work with it. Home Edition doesn't come with IIS.
Is Apache difficult to use and install? Or should I also upgrade my home computer to Professional and use IIS?

real ASP-support is only included in IIS.
if you want to do other scripting-languages like Perl/PHP/JSP Apache and/or Tomcat is the way to go. installation of Apache/Tomcat is easy, configuration of your applications is a tougher task. If you want to start with a pre-configured Apache start using WAMPP which also includes a mysql-database.

Thanks Young,
So from my previous question, I guess upgrading to Pro wouldn't be a bad idea considering it has the IIS included?
I hear there use to be a work around to get IIS on your home edition, but not sure I want to get into that...

I'm not that familiar with IIS. it is included in a lot of microsofts enterprise or development products. I know it is included in Win2003 server and Visual Studio .NET. both are not really cheap options.

according to this IIS 5.1 is also included in Win XP Pro. the version included in Win2003 server is IIS 6.0

There is an application called Web Matrix, it is a free IDE for developing ASP.NET websites. It comes with a built in (scaled down of course, not full IIS support but enough to build and test apps) web server called "Cassini". I believe it is built to only support local requests (meaning you can build and test your sites on your machine, but you could not use it as a production web server).

RunNGun you rock man, thanks so much for pointing me to that Web Matrix link. That is perfect for this beginner here.
Was nice to finally see my little program work!
