User Services Development

Client-Side Web Technologies

Web development has steadily gotten easier as HTML builders like FrontPage have entered the market. However, to get beyond a very basic Web site, one needs to know how to write client-side scripts in VBScript or JavaScript. FrontPage will give you the ability to create dynamic Web pages, but it won't allow the user to interact with the server.

Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts, which are server-side programs, are required in order to accomplish this task. CGI has its roots on the UNIX operating system, so all of our developers at 1-WEB-DEVELOPMENT.COM are familiar with it.

Active Server Pages (ASP)

Active Server Pages, on the other hand, takes the best of what Web development was and makes it even better. ASP is a new server-based technology developed by Microsoft and designed to build dynamic, interactive applications for the Web or a LAN-based Intranet. It's included with version 3.0 or later of Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS).

ASP.DLL, another component of IIS, is called on to interpret scripts and return HTML whenever a file with an .ASP extension is requested from a Web site. This seamless server-side processing makes it possible to build highly interactive, data-driven web experiences that standard HTML simply cannot deliver.

Why ASP? ASP enables server-side logic to run securely on the web server, keeping sensitive business logic away from end users while delivering personalized, dynamic content.
