Is it ok to develop .net web application on MacBook Pro ?

+2  A: 

If you have Windows running on the Mac then it is OK.

Another way is to use some .NET IDE for Mac (e.g. MonoDevelop)

As I mentioned, there is the MonoDevelop IDE that is non-Microsoft product. You can see the link in my answer...

+3  A: 

.NET is only available for Windows. There's the Mono project, which is not affiliated with Microsoft, which aims to create an open source .NET runtime and developer tools, usable on *NIX (including Mac OS X). If you want to develop .NET applications under Mac OS, this is your only choice.

Speaking of a MacBook though, you can install Windows on it using Boot Camp or run it in a virtual machine and develop in Visual Studio like on any other Windows box. And this is ok, I don't think anybody will confiscate your Mac for doing so.

You can also install Windows as a guest OS inside VMware or Parallels -- a way to simultaneously run Mac OS X and Windows.
