![]() ![]() The reason I’m writing this post is that things don’t work at first when you try to access in Mac your app that is running in Windows VM. ![]() ![]() That’s another story that I plan to write in other blog post. I have already ordered 8 GB RAM but am eagerly waiting it arrive from US. I thought 4 GB RAM would suffice but that’s not the case. I only have 4 GB RAM available and I have to share it with both operating systems. I’m running the VM with no visual effects so that I have a somewhat fast VM to do the development. When the app is accessed from the Mac side, the first difference is mainly visual because my Win 7 VM has all visual effects (clear type) disabled and so things look really simple if compared to Mac OS. This kind of testing allows me to deliver a better user experience. There are certain types of errors that only happen when the end user is using the app in his environment. I also have the chance of seeing how exceptions are being handled. In Mac OS I have the chance of testing it against Safari too. It’s cool to see the app running in a different OS and different web browsers. This is good to test how the app behaves when it’s viewed in a different environment, that is, the perspective/environment of the end user, and not the developer’s perspective/development environment. One of the things I wanted to do during the development was seeing how the app would look like when viewed in a different OS, in this case, I’d like to see it running in Mac OS as if I were an end user accessing the app. I discuss more about Parallels Desktop here. This way you have the best of both worlds. Parallels Desktop is the way to go to have a Windows virtual machine running side by side with Mac OS. Today I use Mac OS as my main operating system and since I’m using ASP.NET I also need to use Windows. This app I’m still developing is a web application that I develop using my "new” computer. I’ll write some blog posts in the near future sharing my experiences with this awesome web framework. About a month ago I started the creation of an ASP.NET MVC 3 app to a buddy. ![]()
