ASP is a structure, not to dissimilar to PHP... whats there to hate about
either? They both do the job, and get rid of the chores with ease
(GET,POST,COOKIEs). Whats so hard about wrapping your code around <% %> or
<? ?>
Personaly, i like ASP for the fact you can do <%=$var%> instead of php's <?
print $var; ?>
VBASP sucks
JSASP is a good standard alternative if stuck on IIS
PerlScript ASP on IIS is very slow
Apache::ASP (apache mod_perl and the asp structure fused together in
servlets, with the option of Apache::DBI to retain a connection to a
database (remember to up your max connections to account for idle servers)
is the fast parsed, embedded language with persistant SQL on the planet to
date). EDITOR NOTE: Subsitute manson for Apache::ASP if your a manson fan,
the fact is its perl baby, perl!! :)
