ASP

Active Server Pages is a scripting engine for server-side web development used primarily with Microsoft web servers.

The engine supports several scripting languages. The most commonly used languages are VBScript, JavaScript and PerlScript.

Note that the acronym ASP is also used for Application Service Providers, which can be found at Computers/Software/Business/E-Commerce/Business-to-Business/Application-Service-Providers, and Computers/Software/Rentable.

Submit sites offering resources, help, and documentation about the Active Server Pages technology.

Sites for companies offering hosting for Active Server Pages-based applications will not be listed here and should be submitted to the appropriate letter category under Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Hosted_Components_and_Services/.

CGI

This category includes sites that are related to the Common Gateway Interface (CGI), a common mechanism for submitting information over the Internet Information about specific implementation platforms of CGI are listed under specific categories, e.g.

Commercial web development services should be submitted to the Web Design and Development category.

Please find a more specific sub-category for your listing - only exception sites are listed in this category.

Web hosts and web designers will NOT be listed in this category - there is a Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/ category which you should submit to.

ColdFusion

Help, tools, news, information, and software for Adobe ColdFusion.

ColdFusion is a commercial web scripting engine for building internet applications that integrate with databases, XML, web services, and Flash. The ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) uses tags similar to HTML, so it "fits" into HTML markup very easily. CFML also allows modular web applications through the creation of custom tags.

Submit to this category help, tools, news, information, and software that is specifically related to ColdFusion.

Sites for companies offering ColdFusion development or hosting will not be listed here.

Companies offering ColdFusion programming as part of a more complete offering of web design and development services should be submitted to the appropriate letter category under Computers: Internet: Web Design and Development: Designers: Dynamic and Multimedia or Computers: Internet: Web Design and Development: Designers: Full Service.
Companies offering custom web application development (but not web design) should be submitted to Computers: Companies: Software Development: Internet.
Companies offering ColdFusion hosting should be submitted to the appropriate letter category under Computers: Internet: Web Design and Development: Hosting.

Informational sites that cover multiple web technologies will not be listed here, and should be submitted to the most appropriate category in Computers: Programming: Internet or Computers: Internet: Web Design and Development: Authoring.

Databases

News and references that specifically target the development of database driven web applications.

Tools and applications for database web development should be listed at Computers/Software/Databases/Web_Connectivity/

Information on general database software should be listed at Computers: Software: Databases.

Information on general database and database application development should be listed at Computers: Programming: Databases.

Commercial services for database application development should be submitted to Computers: Consultants: Databases.

Commercial services for web site development should be submitted to Computers: Internet: Web Design and Development: Designers.

Directories

Internet sites dedicated to provide a listing of Internet development-related resources.

Personal Pages

This category is for Personal sites that provide Internet development related information of some value. Either references, resources or programming tips for Web Masters.

Resources

Informing sites that provide information on programming/developing Internet applications.

Server Side Scripting

Any programming language can generate web pages through CGI or an extension module or application server framework. This category lists technologies designed mainly or exclusively for server-side scripting, typically by embedding instructions directly in template web pages. In addition, this category lists resources that may be useful for programmers who use server-side scripting languages.

Submissions that are not clearly related to server side scripting will be deleted. If you want to explain why you should be included, put an explanation [in brackets] after your submission. It will be removed before listing.

Service-Oriented Architecture

This category welcomes submission of resources covering the discussion and implementation of Service-Oriented Architectures. A Service-Oriented Architecture is the fundamental organization of a system that splits computing functionality into loosely-coupled services. A service is an autonomous, deployable, discoverable unit of computing functionality exposed through a remotely invocable interface.

This category welcomes submission of resources covering the development of Web Services, i.e. programmable web components utilizing technologies such as UDDI, WSDL, SOAP, and XML.

This category is NOT for general commercial services provided over the web or commercial services for building Web Services. These sites should be submitted to the Computers: Internet: Web Design and Development category. Submitting a site to inappropriate category will delay the listing of the site.

This category is specifically for resources that help developers in the development of Web Services or development of applications that use other Web Services.

Sockets

Information about the Socket API.

SSI

"A server-side include is a variable value (for example, a file 'Last modified' date) that a server can include in an HTML file before it sends it to the requestor." - whatis.com

This category is for resources related to Server-Side Includes technology.

Sites relating to hosting services or Web design and development should be submitted to their appropriate categories.

W3C DOM

This category is for resources related to the World Wide Web Consortium Document Object Model (W3C DOM). The W3C DOM is the industry standard object model for representing HTML and XML pages. It is used in browsers and other HTML and XML tools.
