ASP (ACTIVE SERVER PAGES) CODING WORKSHOP (three-days, hands-on)
Instructor: Constantine Kaniklidis

Microsoft's ASP (Active Server Pages) remains to this day one of the most popular and extensively used server-side technologies, for both web-enabled Intranet and Internet deployments. This hands-on seminar provides the registrant with both web server essentials (IIS, PWS) and core VBScript as the foundations for productive ASP coding.
