Next Meeting: Wednesday February 12, 2003

Introduction to Active Server Pages
Jeff Randolph, Senior Member, Orange County STC

Saul Carliner recently wrote that the future of Web development will be Weblications, dynamic, web-based applications. Our February 2003 speaker, Jeff Randolph, will introduce you to one method, Active Server Pages (ASP).

Topics to be covered will include:

• What is ASP?
• How ASP differs from standard HTML
• Compare ASP to scripting languages
• Explore the relationship of ASP and XML
• Identify how ASP fits into the Microsoft language scheme
• Tools you need to create ASP applications
• Major sites using ASP technology
• Myths of ASP
• Sample ASP and ASP/XML applications in action

Not one line of code will be spoken (hopefully).

Jeff Randolph has been Webmaster for the OCSTC Web site since 1997 and Employment Manager since 1998. The Web site uses ASP. Jeff is a Senior Web Applications developer at Beckman Coulter, in Fullerton CA, specializing in web-based information delivery and e-Commerce using the Microsoft technologies.
