Active Server Pages (ASP) allow a web page to connect to, retrieve, add, delete and amend data in an online database.

My interest in ASP first began at university, where I was asked to develop an application for the Computer Science department as part of my Final Year Project.
This interest then grew as I found new uses for databases that could be accessed by web pages. For instance, during a previous job I set up a web-based application to allow us to update a database from any PC within the company, not just those with the appropriate application (and access rights) installed.

	The Scottyworld Guestbook - reasonably simple, adding and viewing entries in a database with a few conditions on the extraction of records. Written using Dreamweaver, with some manual code editing.
	An order tracking database for use by the PC Support group at a previous employer. This site enables both support staff and customers to track their equipment orders. Written exclusively using Notepad
University of Herts	An application developed as part of my final year project at university. It allows for full student administration on the computer science degree course. Also allowing students to register for courses while away from the university. This system is currently in use as a live system and access may be limited. This site was written exclusively in Notepad, with hard-coded HTML and ASP.
	A basic site that simply retrieves listings of the music albums and singles that I own.
