All About ASP

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 More

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. More

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 More

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 More

Explorers

Web explorers are plenty. We have a selection of Google Chrome, Safari, Windows Explorer, Netscape and a couple of others. Often people ask which is the best? Answering truly, there isn’t any, they all are good, they all smooth & less clustered interfaces and they all have similar functions.
The web explorers have a simple function - connecting you to the internet - its a medium through which PC users can connect with each other. There isn’t much after that. More

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 More

Switch to Google Chrome

When the web first made available, there were not very many options for browsers out there. In fact there were only a couple of programs that allowed you to even access the web with a graphical user interface. Over time it has become inevitable that web browsers would fight in order to become the provider that is best geared and able to provide the window to the web that consumers want. Most internet users still use Internet Explorer. This browser More

First dial up, then broadband… what next?

When the internet was first introduced into homes, there was the standard dial-up connection. People were able to put up with slow load times, slow connection times and being kicked off of the connection because it used the phone line. In today’s day and age, we have high powered connections and enjoy fast load times, and the ability to use the telephone and surf the internet simultaneously. Many people turn to broadband connections in order to get away from what More
