Active Server Pages is a Microsoft product based on the .NET platform which enables developers to create sites connecting databases, using video, linking to social media sites. Some high profile examples of sites based on this include Bing, Xbox360, Gettyimages and 3M.

What is ASP.NET?

It is a website technology used to develop dynamic websites and applications.

It drastically reduces the amount of code needed to build large applications and makes programming simpler and easier to maintain with an event-driven, server-side programming model.

This supports the languages ADO.NET, Visual Basic, C# and Jscript and is used with HTML.

These web pages are the basis of most application development. They have an .aspx extension and programmers work with them alongside HTML to develop systems and sites.

The developer is able to reuse controls and incorporate data into a website making their work reusable and therefore saving them time and effort.

Our team at Liquid Modules use this as the framework application in all its projects as it offers affordability to clients and offers everyone a more efficient way of working.

Clients find applications built by our developers run fast due to the compiled code and caching system. The source code is compiled the first time the page is requested. Execution is fast as the server compiles the page the first time it is requested then saves the compiled version of the page for use the next time the page is requested.

The powerful database functionality and drag and drop design allows the Berkshire programmers to develop interactive Web applications with great user satisfaction.

This is NOT an updated version of ASP; it is a new technology for server-side scripting and is not backward compatible with ASP.

Its scalability is a feature and applications can be developed to run across several servers.

Although fundamentally different languages, there is some argument about whether PHP is faster:

• ASP.NET is compiled code, a set of code reduced to a set of machine-specific instructions saved as an executable file; PHP is an interpreted language – it is saved as the code you write and run directly from that code.
• It is widely accepted that compiled code runs faster than interpreted programmes but some programmers feel more comfortable using PHP if it is a language they are familiar with.
• PHP is a simple scripting language while ASP.NET supports multiple languages enabling programmers to switch between code in the development process.
• Being part of the .NET platform means our developers have the knowledge to write other applications as well, increasing the flexibility and choice to customers.
• .NET is currently linked to the Windows environment but its use is likely to expand across platforms in the future.
