>>I compare using WC vs ASP to FoxPro vx dBaseiii.

>Maybe your just sucking up to Rick, but I wouldn't say that. IMO, there's not a whole lot wrong with ASP, except that its harder to keep compiling the VFP COM objects, but there's ways around that, just like in WWWC. I also think it has scaleing problems and a couple other things. Remember, WWWC is on version 3, I think ASP is still in the ones? I could be wrong.

I have no need to "suck up" to Rick. He's one of the nicer guys around, but so what. His stuff is just better. (See comments below.)


>I think WWWC is a awesome, but I'm not going to throw ASP by the side. Maybe some of the future versions out perform WWWC? EIther way, I think I saw that WWWC3 is ASP compatible, why not learn ASP and use that syntax in whichever dev enviroment seems appropriate?

I didn't say throw ASP aside, it's good to know it if for no other reason than to be able to develop for those who don't want WC, and also to demonstrate the differences. I've learned it and am not impressed, but if someone wants to pay me an hourly fee to develop that, no problem. I just want push it because I think you should use the BEST tool for the job.

I started in this with dBase back in 1986 and jumped ship to FoxBase because it was twice as fast. If someone comes out with a significantly better product than VFP or WC, I'll probably jump ship again. The odds of that happening are pretty slim, though.
