Today I’ve found a nice site where someone called Fabio Zendhi Nagao is blogging a lot about classic asp. Nice to see it’s not only me who is still dealing with that technology
Just recently he has started an interesting series of advanced articles talking about Microsofts legacy scripting technology:
1. ASP, a misinterpreted technology
2. Event-Driven-Programming and lambda function in ASP/VBScript.
3. TDD (Test Driven Development) in ASP/VBScript.
4. Languages: Based on Objects and Object Oriented.
5. Object Oriented in ASP/VBScript “Hackers way”.
6. “Scripting Components”, the ace in the role.
7. Caching: the concept of DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) applied to ASP.
Enjoy! I will definitely follow it….
I had found him in the past, he has some neet stuff.
DMXReady began creating applications for web developers in. At that time, ASP was relatively new and gave developers the ability to create dynamic rather than static web pages.
Since that time, a number of new dynamic options have become available including , Cold Fusion, PHP etc. But DMXReady continues to use the Classic ASP platform for several reasons:
Easier to learn/use
No extra costs for developers (e.g. purchasing hosting)
Stable database connectivity
Full compatibility with earlier versions of DMXReady products
Fully functional for most dynamic website needs
Millions of web page resources that focus on ASP scripting
New does not always mean better. Other scripting platforms may be more powerful than ASP, but it comes at the cost of purchasing new software and increasing your learning curve. ASP and DMXReady applications are powerful enough to handle the needs of most SOHO/small business needs without added cost, hassle, or learning time.
