What's the best way to move to linux from windows for web development ?
- by rajesh pillai
I am primarily a programmer developing on windows based OS using c# as my primary language. I am evaluating Ubuntu Linux as an alternate platform and would like to know the best stack for doing web development on this.
I had gone through the following thread Moving development from Windows to Linux but it doesn't answer my questions fully.
Some of the points I am interested are outlined below
PHP/Ruby/Python (What would you recommend?)
Is Mono mature enough for any large scale development? Has anyone any real experience using Mono.
IDE (including debugging support, intellisense, source control integration,Unit testing)
Unit testing framework based on the language recommended
Web framework if any.
Load Testing tools
Web server (I know there are many webservers, but would like to know which one is primarily used by most people)
Your inputs is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
