Overview

ASP is Microsoft's glue technology for providing complex, interactive, data-driven web pages for both inter- and intra-nets. ASP runs on the Windows NT web server IIS. 1 million web sites are using IIS as their web server, according to a 3/99 survey by NetCraft. ADO is an easy-to-use object model to access all types of database, from Microsoft's own SQL Server and Access databases to Oracle and DB2. Together, they offer a powerful solution to displaying and manipulating data through browsers.
