I want to test ASP.NET applications to get the feel for the MVC extension and compare that to what I can do today with Grails or Rails. The trouble is that being in a corporate environment, I can't install IIS on my workstation, neither on my DEV server. And - you guessed it - Visual Studio is not to be considered at that moment (I guess for my investigations I'll stick with SharpDevelop and the .NET SDK for the time being).
On the Java side, I could unzip some Tomcat distribution in any folder and hit go.
Is there any equivalent in the IIS world, like a lightweight ASP.NET host?
Thanks,
Rollo
