Why people like ASP

Many people like ASP because it is one of the easiest scripting packages they can find. It is also easy to use, and it does not need someone to learn a new or different scripting language. This makes it easier for people to use it.Other people also like it because it is flexible as well as being easy to use to create web applications. It is because it allows designers and programmers an easy time to do their work that they like it.

The BASICs of Computer Programming.

Whenever I hear people calling ASP a ‘classic computer language’, I cannot help but chuckle to myself. Why? Well, because I am old enough to remember a far more ‘classic computer language’, that’s why! Back when I was in my early teens we used something called ‘Basic’ to write our programs (this was even employed for game making purposes at the time!). And believe me, Basic made ASP look like something from the very distant future!!! Oh, people have it all so easy today yet they don’t even know it!

The Secret Code

I have always been fascinated with what goes on behind a system. I mean when you tap a button on the computer screen, how does it do a specific function. The search for an answer took me to the world of code writing that was quite fascinating to say the least. I first went through the programming of a software program specifically designed for red diesel suppliers aimed to help them keep a track of their diesel sales. It also helped them project the sales for any given moth on the basis of previous monthly and yearly sales data.

Classic ASP, Still a Classic Server-Side Scripting Language

Learning server side scripting has always been one of the things many Web designers usually fancy. Some of them end up learning some basic level PHP so that they can earn their livelihood without much trouble. After all, in this era of cut-throat competition your clients, customers, and employers expect you to be master of everything. Good thing is, it doesn’t really take a lot of struggle to master server side scripting anymore; thanks to the early server side scripting languages such as ASP.

Pigeon post to broadband

Many moons ago, when the internet had just about crossed its infancy, a heaven sent window opened up for people to access the net – dialup internet access through the land phone. This was like manna for people who, since the beginning of time, had to wait for news or any sort of information. With the internet opening up, everything was so instantly available as to render the past decade almost cave like.

Though received with disbelief and happiness, the dialup connection did have its problems and limitations. It came with a high monthly fee that effectively restricted it to only those who could afford to shell out the high fee. It also opened up the computer to security risks and a personal firewall was essential to protect the users'computer. However, not all phone lines were internet compliant, rendering it useless in rural and remote area. And it was painfully slow! One had to sit for hours on end to do just about anything! To top it, while connected, the phone could not be used.

It was only a matter of time before all these problems and limitations were addressed and the world of internet connection moved to the next level – broadband, as we still know it today. Its appearance evoked the same wonder as dialup did when it was first introduced. Broadband connections were up to 100 times faster compared to dialup connections. It allowed one to download pictures and files in a matter of seconds or minutes as compared to hours earlier. In fact, the success of online gaming is only because of the speed allowed by broadband connections. Forget using R4i, you could not even download a single game without spending days doing it. The greatest and acknowledged joy was to be able to use the phone along with the internet connection. Though the phone is used for the connection, the line is not occupied while connected to the internet. Users are not charged on the duration of the connection thus saving them a packet!

While the broadband has permeated into our everyday lives, we can reasonably well expect the next big thing in internet connection to be along soon.

ASP Is Dead? Says Who?

The world of computer programming language, especially code and scripts used on the server side, is a closed book for average users of computers and the internet. They may recognize R4 flash cards but may not know what ASP stands for.

In such a scenario, it is not surprising that there are many misconceptions surrounding such languages. One common misconception is that the .asp extension is dead. Many persons read this and presume that something better must have come up. However, the fact remains that many web sites still make use of this language.

The fact that this extension has been used means that ASP server side language has been used by the web site. However, most web sites prefer to hide the extension by going in for the generic HTM or HTML extension. This means that anybody analyzing the extension cannot find out the exact language used. Each and every language has its own set of flaws and security problems.

By simplifying the extension, it is possible to hide the web site from the malicious attacks of hackers. However, this also creates misconception in the minds of average users that ASP has vanished. That is definitely not the case. Of course, frequent innovations and changes means that one can no longer stick to the past.

It is important to know that even the developers of older languages come up with suggestions and modifications that improves performance and makes the language suitable for new age solutions. Before you arrive at any simplistic conclusion, make it a point to do some real research that focuses on data and not just on extension of the web page.

Demystifying coding

I’m not silly, I know that HTML seems completely inaccessible to people who know nothing about computers. You know you get computer guys who talk about this kind of thing like everyone will understand? Well that’s not me. I realise this because every day I get emails and phone calls from people absolutely confused by that thing called code.

So here, now, I have chosen to try and unravel some of those mysteries. Read the following and it’ll not only educate you, but it should make your blood-pressure go down fast!

1) HTML code isn’t a total nightmare, and actually much of it is very basic. Don’t think of it as loads of complex things to remember – rather, think of it as a basic thing which can be built upon in time. In other words, you start off learning the basic tags and progress from there.

2) The reason why HTML text can go wrong is simple: it’s very easy to get wrong. Usually it’ll go wrong because the tags are places in the wrong order, but it can also go wrong if you don’t add in spaces after each tag: this can be absolutely essential, depending on the document.

3) There are forums on homeware , tree-climbing, motorbikes, and, you guessed it, HTML. So do a quick Google search and see what you can find. There are tons of friendly people out there willing to help a newbie, so don’t be afraid to ask something, even if it does sound dead simple!

Education at our fingertips

Life around the globe is becoming very fast paced; we live in what could be called a fast food culture. When someone desires something they want it immediately. The internet has allowed people to instantly access their bank accounts, send mail (email), communicate with old friends, design custom signs look up travel information and virtually anything else. Decades ago to purchase anything you had to go somewhere outside the comfort of your house, now you can but it online and get it delivered at your doorstep.

Education has now stepped into the internet age too. The internet may never allow us to fully experience education, like going to an actual classroom does; but it is helping us become more educated academically. Schools are getting more and more expensive every year. To reduce these school and college costs are helpful to parents and student alike.

Tutors for subjects that a student struggles with are common. When one has a tutor there is a lot more traveling involved. Today we no longer have to deal with all the traveling to go to the tutor or the tutor to come to us. Thankfully the online world has opened the doors to tutoring. There are places all over the internet where one can find tutors for various subjects.

Now while searching online it is important to check the rates, and the tutor’s schedule. It is becoming ever popular here in the UK as it eliminates the need for one to spend money to travel or bringing a tutor into your home. Students are able to get in contact with educators across the country and the world. It is fast becoming more popular than the traditional way of tutoring.
So for the students who are used to the fast paced world we live in. The internet will provide you the opportunity now to further you education and knowledge just with a little searching online.

Rock star computers

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a queue in my local shopping centre. Probably not since it opened and Gok Wan turned up to do a couple of fashion makeovers! Or maybe that time the mobile phone shop was actually offering a good deal on the best roaming prices that wasn’t a complete rip-off… I digress; my point is that when I popped out for my lunchtime sandwich at the end of last week, there was the incongruous sight of a queue in the middle of my shopping centre.
Quite a chunky queue as well, probably around 20 or 25 people, some with the foresight to bring camping stools and refreshments, and all with portable computers. That’s when I realised what they were queuing for. Not tickets to some ultra hip rock concert, but the chance to get their hands on the next ultra hip computer, the iPad2.
Maybe I still live in the past when it comes to computers. Maybe I’d get more excited over a mint condition ZX Spectrum than a new shiny piece of kit that looks like it could have been made in any old Chinese sweatshop. But I really don’t “get” the iPad phenomenon. In fact, if it wasn’t for the fact that I love my iPod with all my heart, I would say that I don’t really get the entire Apple phenomenon. Queueing up outside the store to make sure you were one of the privileged few to get your models on the stroke of 5pm made me want to scream “Get a life” – and that’s from someone who spends their weekends in a darkened room, writing computer programs while wearing their pyjamas and eating last night’s take away…
