INTRODUCTION

What is the ASP

ASP (Active Server Pages) is a technology developed by Microsoft. Pages
using ASP are primarily developed in JavaScript, VBScript , or PerlScript
and are integrated into the HTML of your Web pages. The ASP code is
compiled by the server and the resulting output is standard HTML. By
using ASP, Web pages can be dynamic, full of ever-changing content, and
browser independent
Here's the official word from the Microsoft site: "Active Server
Pages is an open, compile-free application environment in which
you can combine HTML, scripts, and ActiveX server components
to create dynamic and powerful Web-based business solutions.
Active Server Pages enables server-side scripting for IIS with
native support for both VBScript and Jscript." and the highest
version of IIS is IIS 5.0.
WHY WE CHOOSE ASP

What can we do by using ASP

Server-side ASP scripts can be used to store HTML form information in a database,
personalize Web sites according to visitor preferences, or use different HTML
features based on the browser.
separate the design of your Web page from the details of programming access to
databases and applications , allowing programmers and Web designers to focus on
what they do best.
Can call other programs to do things like access databases, serve different pages to
different browsers
WHY WE CHOOSE ASP

The benefits of ASP

ASP runs as a service of the Web server, and is optimized for multiple threads and
multiple users.
you can create ASP pages using whatever language you want.
ASPs can also take advantage of COM and DCOM objects with minimum effort.
Server-side scripts cannot be readily copied because only the result of the script is
returned to the browser; users cannot view the script commands that created the
page they are viewing.
HOW ASP WORKS
LIMITATIONS OF ASP

Many of the functions of ASP will perform often in a data driven website take several
lines of repetitive code each time to perform.
Sometimes, the code of ASP will become repetitive and is somewhat time consuming.
ASP is the lack of a good development environment. ASP is extremely robust,
working well with the Windows platform on many levels, but is often convoluted and
finding good support documentation and code examples can be excruciating.
And if you are not proficient in Visual Basic or programming, ASP is a very difficult
language to learn.
