Dear sir,

I would like to know the software required for working on a project in ASP. I have XP professional as the operating system. Will I be able to view the project in internet explorer, like the way I see on the internet? Also, tell me about personal server installation.

Go to Microsoft and download the free Visual Studio software.

To be able to view asp pages on your local computer you will need to turn IIS(Internet Information Services) on.

Here is a link on how to turn on IIS. Installing IIS on Windows XP Pro « Boeun Blog

Then you can create asp files with Notepad if you wanted. However a good free tool is Microsoft Visual Web Developer.

When you turn on IIS it will create an inetpub folder under your c: drive. That is where you put you .asp files to view them in internet explorer.
