Delivering complex web applications running server-side code.

Active Server Pages (ASP) provide a mechanism whereby computer code is run on the web server. The most common reason for running server-side code is to talk to a database, as used to power on-line shops and e-commerce systems, property web sites and member-only schemes. Server side code is also used to process imformation such as on-line contacts forms, and to send out automated e-mail notifications.

Despite the similar sounding name, ASP.net represents a radical change in software architecture from ASP - bringing with it many benefits. Perhaps most noticeable is the ability of ASP.Net to "maintain state", that is, to remember the contents of fields in a form etc. as one moves from page to page - something that previously required some laborious coding by the developer.

Whether your web site would be best served by ASP, ASP.net or even regular HTML, will depend on the complexity of the site, the requirements for indexability by search engines, and any budgetary or time constraints.
