ASP Development

By Clare Westwood


Becoming An ASP Developer

ASP (Active Server Page) is a server side script engine powered by Microsoft, it is used by programmers who develop websites that are dynamically created. Most ASP pages are coded in the same program (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) although ASP has since been replaced by ASP.NET. There is still a demand for ASP developers to maintain older code sites.

ASP was first developed in the late Nineteen Nineties, It is a web application which allows the web application to be put on the web server. The difference with ASP is that it has q much better performance than the other applications that were on the market.

Developers that use classic ASP Software tend to be working on very large pre-existing sites as part of a wider team. Usually there are six basic built in applications, ASP error, application, server, response, session and request. You will be working as part of a team alongside a database administrator, designer and project manager. Programmers often work around forty hours a week but at times where a deadline is imminent they often work many more hours.

Usually ASP developers have advanced skills in markup languages, Hyper Text, html, javascript and structured query language. If you make sure you have skills in as many of these areas as possible you will make yourself much more attractive to potential employers.

When it comes to improving and progressing, ASP developers should aim to expand your knowledge in all sorts of developer tools and techniques. Developing your C# knowledge is certainly a good idea, the more programming experience you gain the better.

ASP is a skill area which is always required so even though ASP.net might have taken over it is still worth continuing your development in this area. The salary for ASP developers is often very competitive and this isn't set to change.
