Hi,
A simple question (I think) which will result in a simple answer (I hope)
I have a SharePoint Enterprise installed somewhere
I have VS 2012 Ultimate on my machine, all tools installed (I think)
To develop/test against the SharePoint, do I need SharePoint installed on my local machine ?
If not so simple, don’t hesitate to elaborate 😉
thanks again.
hi Danny
Not an issuse you can able to deploy your solution into sharepoint and the site should be as internet or extranet site not intranet.
Means the port number need to be enable outside for your sharepoint site. then you can deploy your solution into the site.
The one exception would be if you’re developing SharePoint 2013 Apps. In this case, you do not need SharePoint installed locally. All other development cases do.
Yes, you will need SharePoint installed on the same machine as VS.

And also.. preferably on SSD.. and more Ram if you want to use User Profile & Search 🙂
