Memoirs of a Bystander: Visual Studio.NET development on OS X w/ Parallels

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the how-to-make-it-work dept.

A reader writes "There is an interesting blog piece entitled Memoirs of a Bystander: Visual Studio.NET development on OS X w/ Parallels. The piece does a good job talking about development for different environments then the one that you are programming in. " And with the continued rise of more and more heterogeneous environments, this will become more and more common.

    Please stop linking to crappy blogs written by people who think they're important enough to even have "memoirs" and who think they're being oh-so-clever-and-ironic when they juxtapose the terms "memoirs" and "bystander" in their post titles.

    The piece does a good job talking about development for different environments then the one that you are programming in.

    No, he's developing .NET apps using Windows. His database is SQL Server. He doesn't want to use Mono. So he's almost definitely developing for Windows. Mac apps have far better native options for development.

    The only tip someone might find useful in this blog post is his informal test of memory settings in Parallels.

    Why virtualize .net development?
    Just run monodevelop and do it natively on OS X
    Probably because:

    1) Monodevelop is a pile of shit right now.
    2) Running said pile of shit inside X11 isn't a "solution."

    Do you actually develop .NET and own a Macintosh?
