    ASP is Active Server Pages.. It is a way of making a Dynamic Website (among other things - thats what I use it for).. It is a very good programming language.

    VB script is really crappy VB. It's sorta a competitor to Javascript. It's also an easy way to distribute viruses.

    ASP/VBScript sucks.....

    You must use a MS server, and if you use *nix you're out of luck, unless you use OpenASP, or Chilli!ASP or something, but those aren't very good from what I hear...


    PHP is soooooooo much better than ASP.

    JSP is "better" (notice the quotes, people, before flaming me) because it uses compiled code, whereas Perl is interpreted.

    I think I'll agree with that. I have never used JSP, but I don't like Perl much....


    Are you saying you have to compile a JSP before using it?

    No, the JSP is "compiled" to HTML using a JIT (just in time) compiler. The Java classes doing dirty work behind the scenes are compiled even before you start the server.

    A good friend of mine is a JSP coder.. he loves it.. he prefers it to ASP because it is more stable over a large number of users.

    I would love to try to learn it though I think that it would be too damn hard!

    If you know Java, it's easy. And if you don't but you know C++, learn Java and then JSP. If you don't even know C++, then get out of my sight.

    I will agree on the JSP bit - it *is* cool.

    It's basically like ASP/PHP in that the pages consist of layout and segments of code. My dad's been doing some J2EE stuff with them. I can see how HotSpot can REALLY speed up some of the work with these so in some cases they would actually whip anything except for a CGI program written in assembler
