Many people mistakenly believe that ASP is synonymous with simple and inefficiency, and believe that ASP is incompetent and insignificant, and is also very simple. You can learn it and become proficient after you think about it.
Some people say that ASP is not safe. If you write ASP programs strictly in accordance with the specifications of writing safe codes, there is no reason why the program you write is not safe. Those people say that ASP is not safe, as if SQL Injection will not appear in PHP and JSP programs.
Some people say that ASP is not efficient. If you really want to be efficient, you can combine COM. Java will never catch up with COM's efficiency under the Win32 platform. What's the point of simply talking about speed? Java's speed is definitely not high. In terms of speed, many technical solutions have higher speeds than Java. People who study Java know the best, but who cares about this? Java's victory is definitely not because of its speed. Putting aside the specific application environment, it is irrational to simply talk about speed.
Some people say that ASP cannot be done, and that cannot be done, and its functions are very limited. In fact, as long as you understand the principles of the Web, you will understand that writing an ASP program looks like playing a scripting language, but you are directing the Web Server. There are many complex functions. ASP can still complete it very well. Some functions are If ASP cannot be done due to the innate limitations of web applications, don’t think that JSP and PHP can do it.
Let's talk about the functions again. If you want to talk about functions, ASP+SQL Server is definitely a hundred times stronger than PHP+MySQL. MySQL does not support transaction processing. This one has caused PHP developers to suffer a lot of losses. There are no views, stored procedures and triggers, and no user-defined on the database side. Functions cannot fully use standard SQL syntax, which are all disadvantages of MySQL. But do PHP programmers care about this? No! Because what they care about the most is that MySQL is fast. (Note that it is MySQL that is fast, not PHP that is fast. Similarly, it is MySQL that does not support transaction processing, not PHP's fault.) People are so rational when facing PHP+MySQL. When facing ASP, many people lack this rational understanding.
Someone also mentioned MVC, yes I know JSP can play MVC well. However, the programming idea of MVC is not a patent for Java or a certain solution. As long as you master the program architecture idea of MVC, you can still write such ASP programs and PHP programs.
What is the point of making simple comparisons of languages? It’s like when you talk about JSP, you don’t talk about JavaBeans or EJB, so what’s the point of talking about JSP? Similarly, when talking about ASP, what's the point of not talking about COM? Don’t forget that the core of ASP is COM. When talking about PHP, if you don’t talk about its powerful platform - Unix/Linx, PHP is still nothing.
However, one thing is certain, that is: the entry threshold for ASP is the lowest. This should be considered the advantage of ASP, which adheres to the consistent style of Microsoft technology - simple and low entry threshold. It is precisely because of this that a large number of newbies in the web development field can quickly develop websites. But it is precisely because of this that many people who have mastered some basic knowledge of ASP think they have a good understanding of ASP, but they end up writing very scrambled programs, allowing others to watch ASP jokes. In fact, some of the JSP programmers I have come into contact with are also very garbage. They have many low-level errors when handling database operations, but because they are developed in Java, they feel that they are superior to others. In fact, if a really good programmer understands some of the principles of ASP, he can also control ASP well. Some people cannot play ASP, so you can't say that this is an ASP problem. Most people who cannot play ASP do not understand the Web correctly, rather than correctly understanding the syntax in ASP.
The syntax of ASP is very simple, and the syntax of Java is not much complicated. Although C++ and C are complicated, there is no reason for anyone with normal intelligence to learn.
The problem is that the syntax itself is simple, but the web is complicated. We are not just playing with a certain scripting language here, we are doing web development.
Although there are different solutions for web development, the basic principles are the same. If you understand some of the running principles of web-side programs, you will understand that the syntax difficulty of the development technology you use is just an entry-level difficulty. The real difficulty does not lie in what technical solution you use to develop web applications. The difficulty lies in the complex web application itself.
