I have been learning a lot of ASP coding the past month.

What are the advantages and disadvantages in your opinion of building a web site in ASP??

I believe many search engines can not index those sites because of the "?" in the URLs...

Search engines seem to have no problem indexing my site, and it is almost completely ASP.

ASP is very easy to learn and easy to test if you have Windows 98... unfortunately if you want to test your ASP on an XP machine it has to be the Pro version, as PWS is no longer supported by Microsoft (or so I believe). XP Pro comes with a cut down version of IIS 5 (ASP 3, finally!), which is suitable for testing that you ASP code works.

The main limitation that comes to mind is the "natural" choice of databases... most examples use Access, which is not the best choice for a busy site, or MSQL, which is expensive. I've seen sites that say it is possible to use MySQL with ASP, but I've never tried it and ASP, MySQL hosting is not as easy to find compared with PHP/MySQL combo.

Best of luck with it!

Hey Tiggy

I actually have XP professional.

I already have set up an ASP site on my localhost...

I am having fun learning new stuff with it..
