What are the key features of ASP that make it a good, useable program

 

[Karl Blessing]

what makes it good, is that it's server-side scripting (meaning it'll be compatible with any browser, long as the HTML you send to the client is compatible)

-Uses mainly VBscript, but Javascript or etc can be used
-can use ActiveX dlls etc on the server side
-can easily work with databases, and any file type

basically it's a pretty nice serverside language.
