The origin of ASP

Microsoft's Dynamic Server Web page (Active server pages,asp) technology has now developed to version 3.0. For many people, using ASP to create dynamic Web pages, entire sites, and web-based applications on a Windows Server platform has become an extremely natural approach. In the browser address bar, the file name extension. ASP, like the file name extension. pl or. CGI, which represents a dynamically created Web page, has been accepted by the viewer. In fact, for Web programmers working on Microsoft's operating system, the ASP is becoming a technology that is no longer exciting, but just a way of working.


This change of view reflects the gradual maturation of a technology. As an increasing number of ASP applications, ASP tools are also increasing, while a growing number of third-party developers to develop a series of ASP or ASP-based add-on modules, ActiveX server components, or even a complete set of "do-it-yourself" Web site tools. There is little concern about the peculiar names Microsoft used in the first place. Now ASP in the industry has become a recognized term.


This is a book on the latest version of the ASP mature technology, the purpose is to expect readers to some extent familiar with the composition of the ASP, understand what the ASP can do and how to use it. The purpose of this book is not only to enable readers to start using ASP, but also to enable readers to understand the changes in the ASP's new version and what it can do that earlier versions cannot.


This does not mean that the reader must become an expert to read this book, but wants the reader to know the basics of web work and scripting language, such as VBScript or JavaScript.


This book will be more research and technical aspects of the discussion of ASP, so that readers have a better understanding of how the ASP work, to help readers write the ASP code to achieve a higher level. The ASP 3.0 core may not have many changes in nature, but there are many exciting ways to use it.


This section first briefly reviews how the ASP is generated and why the ASP can be popular among Web application developers. Begin by understanding the basics of the web and the development of dynamic Web pages. By comparing ASP with many other technologies that can provide this dynamic, you gain an in-depth understanding of the development of the ASP, while understanding the development of Web applications, not limited to understanding simple dynamic Web sites.

The origin of
HTML

The
web (World Wide web,www) originated in the CERN laboratory in Switzerland. Tim Berners-lee and its development team spent a great deal of time studying the creation of a way to transmit information in a certain format, known as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP, for short). The protocol uses Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). The HTML design is simple and flexible, allowing the display of text and images in Web browsers and other compatible applications. Some parts of a document can be hyperlinks, that is, when selected, you can display different pages or different parts of the same page.
