ASP Programming

ASP is Microsoft's feature-rich Active Server Pages dynamic programming environment. ASP offers a low-cost solution if your requirements call for a dynamic Web site or company Intranet. ASP works with a variety of databases, including Microsoft Access (simple and cost-effective), Microsoft SQL Server (mid-range and robust) or Oracle (heavy-duty). ASP is a one of the most popular and widely used scripting language used for developing dynamic datanbase driven website.
Dotnetmaestro developed numerous ASP applications ranging from shopping carts, content management systems, ASP forums, ASP newsletter, Autoresponder, ecommerce applications to big corporate intranets and database driven Financial applications. All these applications were developed for Windows platform and the database used were MySql, MS-Access, Ms SQL server etc

Reasons to Develop in ASP :

Ease of Use

Active Server Pages are plain HTML pages with ASP code embedded into them enclosed in tags. You just place ASP files into a directory on the server with scripting or execute permissions and your ASPs are ready to run. Whenever you need to change something you just edit the .asp files and that's it, your changes are applied

Language Independence

ASP is a scripting engine enabling you to develop in virtually any language of your choice. The two languages available by default are VBScript and JScript (Microsoft's version of JavaScript); however, modules for Perl, Python and other languages already exist and there are virtually no limits for support for other languages to be implemented. This enables the novice ASP developer to utilize his or her previous programming experience. If you have ever programmed in Visual Basic or VBA (the version of Visual Basic used in the MSOffice suite), you will have no problems starting with VBScript. If you're familiar with JavaScript, then JScript is your choice. Unix gurus will find that Perl can be used readily.

Tons of Information

There are currently more than 150 sites listed in Open Directory's ASP category. This is more than for any other server-side development engine or language. Lots of online magazines will deliver new articles on ASP to your mailbox on a weekly or even daily basis. There's a lot of resources out there for ASP, folks. 

Extensibility

There are virtually no limits to what can be done with ASP thanks to unlimited extensibility provided via COM components. This approach is a key success factor of ASP. For Example, there's no way to send email using standard ASP functions but there are lots of components (both free and commercial) enabling you to do this, as well as choosing the methods and features you want implemented.
