Becoming An ASP Developer

Active Server Page (ASP) is a server side script engine that is powered by Microsoft. Usually it is used by programmers who develop websites that are created dynamically. The majority of ASP pages are coded in the same developing program . ASP has now been replaced by ASP.net but there is still a demand for ASP only developers due to older sites being built in the program.

First developed in the nineteen nineties ASP is a web application that enables a site to be put onto a server. The main difference between ASP and other web server applications is that it has a very good performance record compared to other similar applications.

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 have advanced skills in markup languages, Hyper Text, html, javascript and structured query language. If you make sure you have skills in as many of these areas as possible you will make yourself much more attractive to potential employers.

To be able to Improve and progress you will need to be expanding your knowledge tools and techniques. Developing your knowledge in c# is also guaranteed to benefit you. The more programs you can master the more impressive your CV will be.

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.
