ASP Help
Server-side programming used to be tricky. Making
something work via CGI obliged some information
of arcane programming languages like Perl or C.
Additionally, it was unproductive. Each time a
big shot hit a CGI script, a new process was fashioned
on the server; if your script was written in an
interpreted language like Perl, the server had
to start up another Perl interpreter, taking up
processing time and memory. The state of affairs
got even hairier when it lived on a site that
was getting a few thousand hits a day.
ASP is a server side scripting technology that
allows scripts to be executed by an Internet server.
