TotalWeb FUSION and ASP.NET
In the dim and distant past, web developers wishing to create more than just static displays of information turned to CGI (Common Gateway Interface) and Perl to introduce some sort of interaction to their pages. While this approach worked (and indeed, many sites still use it today), CGI was not by any means fast and the quest for an alternative means to create a page dynamically continued. Finally came web scripting languages and with them Microsoft's Active Server Pages: a server-side scripting technology for building web pages that are both dynamic and interactive.

An Active Server Page itself is simply a text file script with the extension .asp containing HTML, client-side, and server-side script. The implementation behind the ASP page was created by Microsoft and intended as an open technology server-side framework, giving web developers the freedom to develop dynamic web sites using information accessed from the many COM-compliant data sources available to them.

ASP is powerful enough to:
  • support some interaction between page user and server

  • allow web page access to databases and directory services

  • incorporate and make use of high-powered COM components

It's also server-based, and therefore browser-independent.

You've probably heard the word ASP.NET fairly often these days. ASP.NET is a language built for .NET and web services (basically the next version of ASP). TotalWeb FUSION has the knowledge and expertise to create and maintain ASP and ASP.NET websites. However, TotalWeb FUSION utilizes ColdFusion for the development and deployment of scalable web systems. If you take ColdFusion code and line it up side by side with ASP and ASP.NET code, ColdFusion utilizes less than half (sometimes less than a quarter) of code to accomplish the same thing. This translates to faster web development and webpage loading.

TotalWeb FUSION will gradly accept any pre-made ASP website and offer all services to help maintain all ASP websites.
