Introduction
With the advent of ASP.NET we see a shift from traditional scripting to the
beginning of full-fledged programming online.VBScript isn’t the only option
anymore, as programmers can now employ the full power that lies behind both
Visual Basic (VB) and C within their ASP.NET assemblies.
There is no denying the widespread acceptance that .NET received from the
developer community. It’s proven itself to be a well-developed framework with
solid ideas on how the programming world should continue to change.The
introduction of a software solution that enables anyone to code in any language
that is compatible with the framework is groundbreaking to say the least.
In this chapter we will take a look at how Active Server Pages (ASP) itself
began just a couple of years ago and how it has captivated programmers ever
since. It has had some problems, of course, but the .NET architecture seems to
have found solutions to many preexisting programming problems.There have also
been changes with how ASP works with the server and client, to provide the user
with the information that you want to provide.
Even though this is a stable beta, and many people are assuming already that
what we are seeing within Beta 2 is basically the “freeze” for many features, it still
has a couple of caveats, due to its beta nature. Learning from these problems
within the framework can allow for preparation against it.
Learning from the History of ASP
You can trace the history of ASP right back to 1995 and the momentous occasion
when Microsoft realized they were falling behind in a fundamental shift in
the industry by not embracing the Internet. Up until that point Microsoft had
been developing their proprietary technologies, tools, and network protocols for
the Microsoft Network; all of a sudden they needed an Internet strategy and fast.
Microsoft has gone from a position of playing catch-up to one close to dominance,
with the Internet Explorer Web browser having a strangle-hold on the
Web browsing market, and Internet Information Server (IIS) installed at the
majority of Fortune 1000 companies
The Origins of ASP
Back in the mid ‘90s, when the commercial Web world was still young, there was
not a great deal of choice of tools for the Web developer who wanted to make
his or her Web site a truly useful place to do business.The choices were limited
in both available server-side programming platforms and also desktop development
tools to produce the solutions. In the end, the programmer was stuck with
clumsy Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs using compiled languages
such as C, Delphi, and Visual Basic, or interpreted scripting languages like Perl or
Rexx, and operating system shell scripts on systems such as UNIX.
