ASP Development |
Active Server Pages (ASP), a text file script with the extension .asp, helps manage the explosive growth of the Worldwide Web Development Applications in a great way. In 1996, ASP was developed by Microsoft and intended to work with server-side scripts and built-in objects along with extended standard HTML framework that supports web developers to develop dynamic web sites using information accessed from many COM-compliant data sources or database available to them. Another advantage of ASP scripting environment is that it's amenable with the Component Object Model (COM) which creates a standard communication mechanism between comments.
ASP is a web enhancement tool developed and distributed by Microsoft. As such, the ASP scripting host (which translates ASP into HTML) is distributed within Microsoft's web-specific products - its web servers, Internet Information Server (IIS) and Personal Web Server (PWS) and its HTML editors (FrontPage 9x and Visual Interdev, though not Notepad ;-). In the spirit of the open standard that ASP characterizes, the scripting host has also been taken by third parties and rewritten for use with other non-Microsoft web servers.
The syntax and grammar of ASP is easy to comprehend yet powerful enough to:
| 1. |
incorporate HTML to work with some static content or text in the web pages |
| 2. |
Offer a set of intrinsic objects like: Response, Request, application, Server and Session, that allows developer to access information about the request being made of the server, as well as the response that the server will send |
| 3. |
Offer access to the functionality of our standard scripting languages (VBScript, JScript and JavaScript) and the scripting objects they expose |
| 4. |
Incorporate with any standard COM objector active server component into a page |
| 5. |
Support some interaction between page user and server |
| 6. |
Allow web page access to databases and directory services |
| 7. |
Incorporate and make use of high-powered COM components |
| 8. |
Server-based and therefore browser-independent |
The true power of ASP is the ease and rapidity with which developers can create and implement dynamic Web sites. Indeed, for today's modern Web commerce, a dynamic, database-driven, server-side application that interacts with the client is the norm.
