Because
your scripts run on the server rather than on the client, your Web server
does all the work involved in generating the Web pages that you send to
browsers. You need not worry whether a browser can process your scripts:
your Web server does all the script processing, transmitting standard HTML
to the browser. Server-side scripts cannot be readily copied because only
the result of the script is returned to the browser. Your users cannot view
the script commands that created the page they are viewing.
ASP is expected to have the same impact on Web application development that
Microsoft Visual Basic had on client-side application development. Of course,
that's all great news if you are strictly a Microsoft developer. That's
because Microsoft ASP only runs on Microsoft's IIS.
Why Use Instant ASP?
· Develop data-driven, Web-enabled, enterprise-class applications
that can be deployed across multiple Web Server and Operating System platforms.
· Use familiar languages and tools: Visual Basic, JScript, VBScript,
C++, Java, HTML, Delphi , MS Visual InterDev web development system, Sybase
PowerSite™, Netobjects ScriptBuilder, Elemental's DrumBeat™, Alliare,
etc.
· As you leverage existing skills and resources in developing iASP
applications, you greatly reduce the time and cost associated with developing
dynamic content (data driven), multi-tier applications for Internet, Intranet,
or Extranet deployment.
· Instant ASP is ideal for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Systems
Integrators, Government & Corporate IT developers, Solutions Providers,
Application & Database developers, experienced script authors, and Internet
Service Providers (ISPs). |
