The Role Of An ASP Developer

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 Most ASP pages are coded in the same program (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) although ASP has since been replaced by ASP.NET.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 developed first in the late nineteen nineties. It allows the web application to be put on a web server easily. The main difference between ASP and other similar programmes is that it is much more efficient than likewise programmes.

Classic ASP developers usually work on large projects where they will help support existing code as part of a large development team. There are usually six basic applications within ASP; ASP Error, server, application, session, request and response. Working as part of a team means you will work with database administrators, designers and project managers. Usually programmers work forty hours each week but often when deadlines approach they will choose to work longer hours to complete a project.

Usually ASP developers are very advances in Hyper Text, JavaScript, Markup language, Cascading style sheets and structures query language. Broadening your knowledge on as many different programmes as possible will benefit you greatly.

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.
