Pure scripting with either ASP or AFP is kind of limited, IMHO. Mixing display code with application logic (as scripting tends to do) has never been a good idea. A more powerful approach to web development is to create VFP COM servers and call them from ASP. You could actually do the web design in something like Front Page and eval from the VFP COM object at run-time. A side benefit is that you can distribute the web COM applications with the app logic protected (you could also do a REFOX brand on the COM dll).

For simple things on your own web site, though, AFP is probably OK.
