ASP 101's Year in Review - A Look Back At 2005
by John Peterson
As 2005 draws to a close, I once again find myself wondering where the year
went. Here's a list of some of 2005's highlights here at ASP 101.
-
We started the year with a couple of interesting articles:
A True Tree User Control for Presenting Hierarchical Data
and
Query Index Server with IXSSO in .NET
which turned out to be very popular.
-
Security is always a concern which led to our article on
How to Protect Your Application Against Parameter Injection
being a big hit.
-
Our lessons didn't get as much attention as I had hoped they
would, but with the release of the .NET Framework version 2.0, you can expect big things for them in 2006.
-
As we always do, throughout 2005 we continued building our
library of ASP.NET Samples (adding almost 30 new samples!) and
even managed to add a few classic ASP samples
as well:
- Alternating Colors
- Database Multi-Sort
- Dynamic Form Fields
- Filtered Directory List
- Wizard
-
We've recently had a few really cool quick tips come in:
- Reduce Web Form Spam by Checking Server Variables
- Basic Debugging in Classic ASP
- Basic Authentication at its Most Basic
- Don't Use Select *
- Exporting HTML from Word
-
The last few months have brought some interesting tidbits that make it look like 2006 will be
an interesting year indeed:
- .NET Framework 2.0 Available for Download
- Microsoft Announces "Atlas"
If you've been with us all year and still managed to miss any of the above then we've got a couple ways
to stop that from happening in 2006. You can either get on our weekly mailing list:
The ASP 101 News Flash
or use your RSS reader of choice to subscribe to our RSS feed: ASP 101 RSS Feed.
Happy New Year!!!
Thank you all for making 2005 another great year for us
here at ASP 101. We wish you a happy holiday and all the
best for 2006.
