Best web development tool I ever used.
Fantastic web development tool we are going to used it for building our clients sites Thanks for posting
Is it compatible with PHP though?
Can this work with just PHP+MySQL (i.e. not with ASP.NET Microsoft stuff)? More specifically, can I create a PHP application/website using WebMatrix and upload it to my regular Linux host, perhaps using CodeIgnitor?
I’m suprised to say that this actually looks quite good… Will have to take it for a spin a bit later.
Maybe i’m missing something, but it looks like a standard MS lock-in.
It works only with IIS and MSSQL.
I would take Aptana over this one anytime.
I just gave up!
Impossible to download here.
I’m behind a proxy, IE works fine, no firewall, but there is no way to install it.
I had this problem before with the wonderful Microsoft download system.
