Mac or Windows OS for server communicating with iOS and Android devices -


i learning server-side programming. server (mac mini) should communicate ios devices, wish add android devices mix in future.

i ask in case, can server's os remain mac? or should preferably windows? or not make difference? sorry n00b question, i'm new servers.

as long client , server communicating using well-defined protocol, computing platform of either irrelevant.

one of simplest , common methods server , client communicate via http protocol. required on server side standards compliant web server , client side, pretty basic apis.

you can run popular apache web server on mac (or windows, linux, etc.) server, , use classes nsurlconnection on native ios apps communicate server.

you have httpclient class on android.

on server side, outside of serving files, can develop rest- api using common languages such php, ruby, python, , perl, integrate apache.
