Sorry that was a sarcastic comment...it was supposed to read.


'So what you trying to say lastminute.com gets more than them'


Basically my point was ASP is not shit, its .....


I get so angry when people blame proven technology, as a reason why their

site sucks.

Please name me your source of stats; where lastminute.com (UK site) got more

hits than Microsoft.com (Worlds largest software producer) where 1,000,000 a

month upgrade there win32 OS and MSN (hotmail.com as well).  Please let me

know where you found this info?  And given that Microsoft are so small they

would not want to use their own product ASP, why else did they create it?  I

do not see lastminute.com in Internet.com's top ten traffic sites but alas I

do see MSN there, they must be wrong.  I did not bother reading on since you

lost my confidence on traffic stats.

Its not the technology they used that causes this, its the way they use this

technology.


ASP is used by buy.com, nasdaq.com, microsoft.com, msn.com. So what

lastminute.com gets more traffic than those guys.


ASP is only the interface between the user and the server, and should not be

used as the back-end. as you mention this should be in either EJB/COM+ and

managing these components on a distributed environment, linking further to a

robust DB environment.


Load-balancing effectively does not really need a single session flying

about on multiple servers, which is a lot harder to manage, but its a

strategy which should go from the Leased line connection through to the

Database at the backend


They can throw more box's in, using any standard of the shelf load balancer,

but there problem could be at the DB end and with the connection pooling

objects.


And your right maybe they should use coldfusion, this has been designed by a

small company for people who can't really program.


NB ASP 2 has been and gone, and your on about ASP+ a totally different ball

game, this is going to blow all others out of the water, with native support

for a lot of component driven tasks.
