What Is an ASP File? Files created with Active Server Pages have the extension .ASP. This story is an example; take a look at the address above. With ASP files, you can activate your Web site using any combination of HTML, scripting such as JavaScript or Visual Basic?

Is It Hard to Use? I don't know about you, but whenever people start talking about doing things on the server, I start to get nervous. I think a lot about threading issues, synchronization, and generally stuff without a user interface. I assume it's going to be hard to do. Well, using ASP is about as easy as anything I've come across in years.

Aw, Mom. Not Another Object Model! I really hate doing this to you, but I'm going to have to use that overused and overcomplex term "object model" again. Here's how it works. When a browser requests an ASP file from your Web server, your Web server calls Active Server Pages to read through the ASP file, executing any of the commands contained within and sending the resulting HTML page to the browser.

Twenty-five years back Carolina Knights planned a motorcycle rally at the beach. They were only five in number. The event pulled around a hundred visitors in 1980. The weekend occasion is now a weeklong gala with around 400,000 visitors and thousands of bikers. This year (May 24-29, 2006), it will become a town-wide festival. Yes, we were talking about Atlantic Beach Bike Fest. Another famous bike rally is Carolina Harley-Davidson Dealers Association Myrtle Beach Rally. It is the longest continuous rally starting on 17th may this year at Myrtle Beach Convention Center. Tourists from all parts of the country and abroad plan their Myrtle Beach vacation around this season specifically to join the party with over 100,000 bikers, food and amusement.

Officials estimate that around 375,000 visitors will join the party this year. Black Bike Week is also a popular bike festival, around which a good number of people plan their Myrtle Beach vacation . The tag line “make it bounce” bounces in almost every nook and corner of the town, wild and extreme, during the fest. One can easily guess rest of the story. Something is always happening there at Myrtle Beach. The 55th annual Sun Fun Festival is just knocking at the doors with the agenda to break the record for the world’s tallest sandcastle. The complete sandcastle will be 60 feet wide at its base and 35 feet tall with 1,200 cubic tons sand and the theme is “Summer Starts Here”. The Ninth Annual Sea Doo Surf and Turf Championships will take place on June 3rd and 4th, behind the Spring Maid Resort on the beach. Summer sports, Fitness Camps, Masters Swimming, Myrtle Beach Biathlon and others are always pushing each other.
