ASP classic sucks
I spent a good chunk of the day creating a ASP classic form.
- The language is ugly. There does not seem to be power that Perl exudes, the easy of use of PHP, or the intrinsic structural qualities of Java/Python/C#. Lame.
- Finding tutorials that are well documented is not easy. Hell, finding documentation of any sort was non-trivial.
- I want to meet the crackhead that came up with ODBC connection string, and kick his ass.
The reason for this work is that Authentix (actually Web Quota) is a stinking pile of dog turds. The documentation seem to be to designed to get users to buy a support contract.
Why– oh why– does Olive not work on Windows server 2003? ASP.net seems to be a decent language.
