Introduction
After thirteen years of web development, in which the last five I spent almost entirely developing with the .NET platform, I finally saw in Classic ASP the most versatile environment for web development. The main reason for this versatility is, surprisingly, the fact that it is interpreted. It might sound like a joke, mainly because of the whole buzz around the code-behind and the advantages of the compiled code's performance. But, in my opinion, this attribute, summed to multiple languages support, is what guarantees to ASP a distinguish position among the environments for advanced programmers.
Aiming to share my experience and point of view to the whole community, I've decided to create a series of articles, where I'll address key topics that will lead to a greater understanding of the strength hidden in ASP. I've ordered them so that easier topics are discussed first before moving on to the harder ones. Here they are:
- ASP, a misinterpreted technology
- Event-Driven-Programming and lambda function in ASP/VBScript.
- TDD (Test Driven Development) in ASP/VBScript.
- Languages: Based on Objects and Object Oriented.
- Object Oriented in ASP/VBScript "Hackers way".
- "Scripting Components", the ace in the role.
- Caching: the concept of DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) applied to ASP.
In all subsequent articles, I'll indicate the current stage in bold. I don't intend to stop contributing after the end of the seven subjects. I'll probably attack more problems and more specific topics that illustrate the advantage of using ASP. Well, one step at a time...

This plugin provides a faster and easier way to select the current document highlighting mode in gedit.
Just press Ctrl+Shift+H, type the language and press Enter.
It's written in Python, so you don't have to compile anything or get any binary. The source is there for
inspection and installation.

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Finally, the first entry in 2009! I’ve been working really hard in the latest days, hoping to get a release version of AXE with tons of new features like: Events, XSession, Markdown and Textile parsers and a lot lot more.
This entry is about reserved words in ASP. My current main languages to code ASP are VBScript, Javascript and Python and they are interacting perfectly under the god damn awesome Microsoft CLI. Enough talk, let’s start! The post is about the boring fact that when developing low-level code, you inevitably fall in the task of recreating something important that you feel is missing or is lacking features. You go for it, start a project and everything goes fine until you need to baptize your new child. Spent a little time thinking, you knows the perfect name, try to assign it and Bang! An error happen. This is usually related to reserved words and the devil lives in the ones that you never used and forgot about their existance because they are simply reserved words don’t have any meaning to the compiler! For a quick reference, see below a list of the reserved words of the cited languages. Rare words are in strong.
