I have a new marketing drone that claims to know a bunch about making purty high end web sites. She wants a copy of Visual Interdev to code. What is this app exactly? I have found that is was/is a addon to Visual Studio, but that is it. Is it one of those crappy FrontPage type things that load up your code with alot of extraneous crap? If it doesn't suck where would I get a copy w/o buying Visual Studio?

It's an application to help you create asp style web applications. I never used it, figuring it for another web development "wizards and toys" type of environment. I could be wrong on that, since I never really gave it a try. I think it's the only way to actually debug some server side asp code. If you have Visual Studio 5 or 6 disks, it should be on them. Interdev no longer exists in VS.NET. The web development tools were integrated into the primary .NET IDE and are now very powerful.

I found out that it needs FP extension on the web server to make it go. What are the downsides to putting FP extensions on a perfectly fine server. BTW I think FrontPage is the devil, as I have told my slightly retared son Bobby several times.

I've never had any major problems with the extensions. They're primarily for management via MS specific HTTP extensions. VS.NET installs them too. Interdev will probably be the only thing using them. You would just need to make sure you have your security patches etc.

Jaysus feckin' wept, a marketing drone who fancies 'emselves as a programmer. The horror. The horror. The pure undiluted evil. I used interdev a wee bit for some classic ASP code a few years ago. I thought it was a reasonable IDE for writing & debugging ASP/HTML/JS etc. It features things that are very commonplace now, such as syntax highlighting and Intellisense (which was actually very cool at the time). I'm sure it had many more features, of which precisely no-one in the universe ever used for reasons of crapness. AFAIK it doesn't require you to use/install FrontPage on the server. I think that was the original Visual Studio.NET that required FP extensions... something to do with administrative stuff rather than web design for dummies. Whatever the case, InterDev is obsolete now, as probably is your piece-of-shit marketing-drone-wannabe-web-developer. Why not use the free (and really very good) Visual Web Developer 2005? http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vwd/

She has talked about doing all this stuff so far, I ain't seen any action yet.
