| ASP |
Classic ASP (shortened by most to ASP) is a COM based framework created by Microsoft to allow dynamic web content to be created. ASP is mixed within HTML code, this approach although now common was radically different to the CGI days where CGI scripts had to write out the raw HTML. The ASP framework provides objects for things such as reading and writing cookies, using GET and POST headers and all most of the things that is required to successfully build web applications. ASP can also make use COM objects such as the File System object, ADO for database's as well as the COM objects you create your self using tools such as Visual Basic and Delphi etc. ASP can be used with any scripting language that supports COM e.g. VBScript, JScript, PerlScript etc. ASP is freely available for Microsoft web servers and third party implementations.

| WHAT ASP WORK DO I DO? |
Most of the work I do these days seems to be ASP. Nothing too clever mainly web based administration systems allowing client to update their web site content themselves via the web. |
