Asp Advantages

[iimmdeepak]

hi all
i m new and want to start the web development so can any one suggest the advantages of asp over other language.
Thanks

ASP stands for Active Server Page or programming.Basically sever site programming.

There are multiple advantages of ASP over other languages:

1)Consistent Programming Model

2)Direct Support for Security

3)Easy Application Deployment and Maintenance

Asp is the Active server programming it deals with the server means that it is a server programming.its having the following advantages
1.it provides the 3-tier architecture
2.we can easily deploy the new applications.
3.its framework is compatible with around 55 language.

one more good thing about ASP.Net is its a server side programming, having server controls which makes the site more secure rather than to using the simple html client side controls.

ASP is a server side script and it can perform many backend processing jobs for a web site, same way it can't do many things particularly the client end operations as it has no control over the client end events or user controls.

We may not like to say disadvantages of ASP and it is better to say the limitation of any server side scripting language, as these limitations are faced by other scripting languages like PHP, JSP, Perl etc. We will try to understand where ASP can be used and where it should not be used.Using server side scripting language like ASP we can manage the content of any page and such dynamic code ( or content ) for the web browsers can be generated based on various conditions we set in our ASP program. To a visitor the back end script or processing is of no use. They are more interested in design, content, speed etc. So there is no point in asking ASP engine to work when there is simple html content to be displayed at browser end. This will also improve the loading speed of the page. The user browser does not understand scripts we run at server. Brower understands JavaScript (if enabled), html, CSS etc. So what ever output we want to be send to the browser has to be written using these languages. So the task we want to be performed at client end can't be written at server end using ASP.ASP engine finishes its job of processing the code and then send the codes to users browser. From this point on words till again the page request comes back to server, there is no control of ASP on the page. So we should not expect ASP to perform some tasks which are likely to happen at the client browser end. This will be clear when we discuss some of the task and where ( client or server side ) the task is to be completed and which script will take care of it. There are some tasks we can do at both the ends and the situation on which they are to be used we will try to discuss in next page.ASP Introduction ASP Introduction Basic File structure for simple ASP script Advantage Disadvantage of ASP Tasks ASP Can do Different requirement for redirecting users Escaping double quotes and printing to screen.

HTML is used only to create static web pages (which displays information) With the use of ASP one can create dynamic web pages,where client can communicate with the web server and vice versa. Thus using ASP interactive webpages can be created.

ASP is very important language.
If any one want to develop a huge website.
ASP help to create any thing of your requirements.
I like to work in ASP.
Thanks for sharing good post.

If any one need help regarding ASP.
Please ask me any question.

the most important thing about language is that it has drag and drop functionality which helps many novice user to learn it very quickly without any much coding.

ASP or Active Server Pages is a server side programming language and part of Microsoft’s (IIS) Internet Information Server. ASP can help deliver dynamic content to the client from databases and can dynamically generate interactive pages. An asp page normally consists of HTML and scripting code. In asp, the browser calls .asp file instead of .html and the server processes the script and returns a html page to the browser.
Advantages of ASP
Performance: ASP.NET improves performance by utilizing the strengths of JIT compilation, automatic resource optimization, runtime profiling, automatic memory management, early binding, better caching and exception handling.
Inbuilt data caching module: ASP.NET has a data caching module to decide on which data on the ASP page should be cached and when to empty this cache and when to re-query.
Support for Tools: With ASP you can drag and drop your web controls just like how it is done in Visual Basic controls. All you have to do is just double click to write a server program for the control.
Ease of Use: ASP pages are just HTML pages with ASP programs encapsulated between <% and %> tags. To run an asp file you just have to place it into a directory in your server and run it provide you have proper authorization. All you have to do to make some changes is just edit your asp file and the modification will be executed.
Flexibility: With ASP you can code your scripts in both VBScript and Microsoft Jscript. There are also existing modules to support languages like Python, perl along with solutions to incorporate other languages. So even if you are new to ASP you can use your previous knowledge in other programming languages like VB and JavaScript while migrating to ASP. This makes it easier to learn ASP even with just html knowledge.

Good information thanks for your sharing

The ASP model has evolved because it offers some significant advantages over traditional approaches. Here are some of the most important advantages:
Especially for small businesses and startups, the biggest advantage is low cost of entry and, in most cases, an extremely short setup time.
The pay-as-you-go model is often significantly less expensive for all but the most frequent users of the service.
The ASP model, as with any outsourcing arrangement, eliminates head count. IT headcount tends to be very expensive and very specialized (like pilots in the airline example), so this is frequently advantageous.
The ASP model also eliminates specialized IT infrastructure for the application as well as supporting applications. For example, if the application you want to use requires an Oracle or MS-SQL database, you would have to support both the application and the database.
The ASP model can shift Internet bandwidth to the ASP, who can often provide it at lower cost.

ASP must be run on Windows hosting, right?

good response. thank you. can anyone tell me about that site where i can learn clearly all about it??

[Boby Smith]

he ASP processing starts when a HTTP request is sent to web server and from here the advantage of ASP power takes place, the client side has no control on the ASP processing. Following is a group ASP advantages:

1. It provides 3-tiers architecture.
2. Provide easy way to deploy the new applications and maintenance.
3. Compatible with around 55 languages
4. Consistent Programming Model
5. Direct Support for Security
